MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

It is not possible to print a list of files from the Word Version 5.00 Library Document-retrieval menu.

The DOS redirect command (>) can be used to copy a directory listing to a file. This file can then be loaded and edited in Word. The following details this procedure:

  From Word, select Library Run.   This example creates a file that contains a directory listing of the files in the C:directory in a file called LIST.DOC using the DOS redirect (>) command. From the Library Run type: DIR C:> LIST.DOC press ENTER   Press any key to return to Word.   Use Transfer Load to load the file called LIST.DOC into Word. Apply any desired formatting to the file and print the file LIST.DOC using the Print Printer command. 

For more information about Library Document-retrieval, please refer to the “Using Microsoft Word” manual, Page 268. For more information about the DOS redirect command, please refer to a DOS manual.
