From: Herb Tyson [MVP] on 22 Apr 2010 14:53 Another possibility is to open a command line window, do an old-fashioned DIR *.DOC (or whatever...), select with the mouse, copy to the clipboard, paste into Word, and [finally] trim the unneeded bits. While this sounds complicated, it took me less than 30 seconds. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word Bible Blog: http://word.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "TOFFA99" <TOFFA99(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:81621F23-6983-47B7-808C-D91064515B28(a)microsoft.com... > Many Thanks, > One problem though, I can't download it to my work computer.
