Hi,help please,
I have scanned all my Certificates and stored them in a folder on my PC.
I have the originals in a ledger and would like to be able to copy the alphabetical list of certificates from my PC into a Word Document so that I can then print a copy off to put in the front of my ledger.
I have pulled up the list of certs to view on my PC and then tried to copy & paste into a Word Document but it will not work.
I can't bear the thought of trying to type it all out (there's about 105 certs and I'm a one-fingered typist.
I know there must be a way of transferring the list, to enable me to make a copy of it, but I don't know how and my brain has now gone dead.
Can anyone think of a way around this please?
Hoping
Barbara.

Hi Barbara,
There's one method that may be a start if you use FireFox. It won't do everything you want but it is a start.
1. Open explorer and explore to the folder you want a list of files from.
2. Copy the location of that folder.
This may be in different places depending on your system but you are looking for something like:
C:\Documents and Settings\Paul\My Documents\Ancestry
3. Open FireFox and enter:
file:\C:\Documents and Settings\Paul\My Documents\Ancestry
You should be able to paste the C:\Documents and Settings\Paul\My Documents\Ancestry bit.
You should be able to copy that display and paste it into word but for me it comes out strange. If you can work with Excel you may prefer to paste it into that and play around with it first.
If you don't use FireFox we'll have to think of something else as trying that with IE certainly doesn't work.

I tried this and it seems reasonably easy to use.
http://www.segobit.com/adp.exe
It is shareware so you will be nagged but I am sure you can live with that.
It creates a text file and you can select what details you want next to each file. Just uncheck all of the columns and you will get just the files.

Hi Everyone,
Sorry to be late saying 'Thank you' but the Topic appeared to be locked earlier on an I couldn't gain access.
Paul, I'm afraid I havn't got Firefox so I was unable to give your suggestion a 'go' but thanks for trying to help me.
Tracy, I looked at the sites you mentioned and I got a bit confused with the instructions - I'm not that clever on the PC yet but UI appreciate your efforts.
David, my folders containing the certificates that I would like to make a list of is in 'My Documents'>Family History> Certificates etc.
Downside, I have sent you a PM.
Many thanks to you all for your time and patience in trying to help me sort this problem out.
Barbara.

I would second Firefox and it's add-ons for enabling this. There is a great table2clipboard facility which might do this - it allows copying from dearch pages and then pasting into WORD OR eXCEL.
