How do I print a list of filenames?

In Office 2003, I want to print the list of filenames that appears when I'm
choosing what to print. Ctrl + P doesn't work. Ideas?

What application in Office are you talking about? What dialog box in the
application are you talking about? And "CTRL+P" is used in the active
application to print the currently open document on the current default
printer.

It's Word 2003's list of filenames that appears when you open a folder.
btw, thank you for explaining why Ctrl + P doesn't work for this.

I presume you mean that in Word, you click "File", then "Open" and the
filenames and folders that appear there. You may only select to OPEN or
PRINT the files themselves from that Dialog box. Any printing of the
"listing" of those filenames, will have to be done from the operating
system. There are some third party utilities that will do that, or you
may open a command prompt and do a DIR > C:\filelist.txt in the
directory of interest ant then open and print the contents of
"filelist.txt".

Susan, go to http://www.karenware.com/powertools/ptdirprn.asp and download
Karen's Directory Printer and Visual Basic Runtime v6.0... You will probably
want to "Save to Disk" (file). Takes a little playing around with, but
you'll soon get the hang of it.

Good luck.
P.S. You'd think Microsoft would come up with a simple way of printing a
list of filenames and folders, no? Yikes.

Microsoft has a long history of leaving the simple stuff to third party programmers, why should this be any different. You can also do this using a DOS command - no third party solution required.
