Copying Files in a Directory to Excel/Word, etc.

Hi,
I am in need of copying filenames from a directory into an Excel
Spreadsheet. To give an example of what application I have for this need: I
have ~1000 files that I need to sort & then index various different ways
(will add tracking #, Associated Name, comments, etc). I figured out how to
do a filelist (in DOS). However, that also shows all the file attributes
(such as creation date, file size, etc) which I don't need. I only need the
filenames.

Can you offer assistance, please? Thanks for your help in advance

Hi Sharon_of_WV,

Use the DIR command with the /b switch.
