Is there any way of putting a list of contents of a windows file into Microsoft word/excel?

Question

I want to be able to put the contents of one of my folders onto word or excel.

Can it be done?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

open a command window, cd to the folder and type

dir /b >filelist.txt

close the command window and use import text file to copy the file list into excell or word.

Answer 2

You can try a program called dir2text (google it) that read the contents of a folder and export it into a txt file.

or try one of these programs:

To open a command window, go to RUN and type in CMD.

then type in "cd" (without quotes) followed by the path of the folder you want.

e.g

cd C:\Documents and Settings\Henry\

Then use the command from here on to generate your text file.

Answer 3

do you mean, like.. all the files you have?
