A quick way to do it would be to open Window's Explorer to view the files you
want to print. Hit the Print screen key. Open word and paste the contents.
You will get a picture of the files. You may have to enlarge it to view the
files, and you may also have to do another print screen to get a picture of
all the files. Wish I knew an easier way! Good luck with it!

A. If your documents are all located in one folder:

1. Open a command prompt in the folder where your documents are
located. 2. Type "dir /b > dir.txt" omitting the "".
3. Open dir.txt with Word.
4. Print it.

B. If your documents are in a folder called (say) "2010" that contains
subfolders:

1. Open a command prompt in the folder immediately above 2010.
2. Type "dir *.* /b /s > 2010.txt" omitting the "".
3. Open 2010.txt with Word.
4. Print it.

C. If your documents are in several folders that contain subfolders:

1. Open a command prompt in their common top folder.
2. Type "dir *.* /b /s > dirall.txt" omitting the "".
3. Open dirall.txt with Word.
4. Print it.

D. To see what other magic you can do with a command prompt and dir:

1. Open a command prompt somewhere.
2. Type "dir /? > dirhelp.txt" omitting the "".
3. Open dirhelp.txt with Word.
4. Read, print, and save it for future reference.

E. Remember this lore and pass it on when the time comes.
