I have now used 73 names in the WHO POSTED THIS activity. Each name has its own document page wherein I posted the author's approval, the quote and their profile. Sooooo, I have a folder with all 73 names (documents) listed in alphabetical order. I want to move these names to A2K; proof and edit and then present them as the list to date.
No can do...at least with my present knowledge. HELP!
What medium are they on?
Word Documents?
Excel?
Sorry, I've been out of town.
They are on Word documents.
How about using copy/paste?
I tried that repeatly. When I click on the new document to paste, paste is missing. Only Undo, delete and select all remain. Could it have anything to do with the fact that all 80 items have Word document symbols?
You're trying to move this stuff from Word to ... where? Email? Excel? Another Word document? Able2Know?
If it's Word, just do a save-as command and save the document as another Word document.
Mmmmmmm..... I'm trying to isolate the Word symbols from the member name and date (symbol Mapleleaf 6-28-03). Then I want to transfer the alphabetical list to the reply box in WHO POSTED THIS. This way members could check the list to determine what names have already been used.
I don't know what you mean by "Word symbols". If it's typing, it can be copied and pasted. You seem to be talking about something else, but I'm not getting it.
What version of Word is this? What do these "symbols" look like? Are they letters? Numbers? Pictures of some sort?
2000. The symbol is the icon for Word document. I have 82 Word documents listed in a folder. Mmmmmm....I'd forgotten that. All the documents are listed in a folder, not a Word document. That's it....I'm trying to copy the items posted in a folder.
Got it.
You can't move the documents, you have to open the documents and copy and paste their contents.
Are you trying to select 82 files in Explorer, copy, then paste the file name list, rather than the actual files, into Microsoft Word?
No that won't work exactly like that. I use an image browser/viewer program called ACDSee that can list all the filenames in a folder into a txt file. However that's just one minor feature of this commercial program. I don't currently know the names of any free programs that can do that for you, but I don't think it would be too difficult to track down at a place like download.com or cnet
From a Microsoft Word 2000 folder, I am attempting to
Quote:copy, then paste the file name list, rather than the actual files, into [a] Microsoft Word [document]?
You can't do that without special programs.
Stumble It!
