The COPY AS PATH command was added to Windows way back under Windows Vista. What's laughable is all the people who think they had to download and install some other program to do something that was already there as part of Windows. It can even be added into Windows XP if desired.
I'm afraid that Sherry will be breaking in soon and say we should end this thread because we're talking Windows functionality here and not specifically Legacy. Before that happens, let me add that if you are still unsure about how the COPY AS PATH function works, here is a good web site that explains it: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/123153-copy-path-file-folder.html Brian in CA -----Original Message----- From: Ward Walker [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, September 22, 2013 11:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Copying names from Legacy Docs folder Gene, it seems to do what she requested ("...copy the list of docs contained in that folder by going to Edit>select all>..."). If you select folder names, then you get folder names. If you select file names, you get the file names. (In either case, you get the full paths, which can be quickly edited away in Word if desired.) You're right that it does not give you all file names in a multilevel folder hierarchy. -- Ward -----Original Message----- From: Gene Young Sent: Sunday, September 22, 2013 11:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Copying names from Legacy Docs folder On 9/22/2013 10:43 AM, Ward Walker wrote: > Cool.
