Lavern, If you need an intelligent (editable) list rather than a captured image of the list, then one way to do it is via the Command Prompt. There you can navigate to the directory, then use the Edit menu to ‘mark’ the desired files and copy the marked text to the clipboard. (When you paste this into Word, change the font to a non-proportional font such as courier new, in order to preserve the column spacing.) If you are not familiar with the necessary (DOS) commands, such as CD and DIR, try typing ‘help’ on the command line, or ‘help <command name>’.

What I got when I did the Paste-- only the name of the first document.
