Print File List

[ML]

IN WordPerfect there was an option on the menu to "print
file list" in a directory. However, in Word there is no
such option. I have gotten "technical support" from DELL
and they wanted me to go into DOS (can you imagine) and
print the file list from there. My solution was to do
a "print screen" and paste it into Paint (Accessories)
and print one section at a time of the entire directory.
This is time consuming.

Kindly follow the steps:
Open the required folder in Explorer.
Press <Alt>+Print Screen to create a picture file for
the required folder details
Paste this picture in MS Word and this can be printed
easily.

Hi ML,

Did you look at the response dated 21 September from Suzanne Barnhill to
your original post of 20 September? It gives you a link to a site where you
can find out how to do it.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps

Cut and past the following into Notepad,
then SAVE AS being sure to surround file name with QUOTES,
"Print File Folder.Bat"

dir %1 /-p /a /o > "%temp%\File List"
notepad /p "%temp%\File List"


Additionally there is a really simple method in DOS!

Dir /s >prn
or
Dir /s >mytext.txt
