As part of my family history research, I have about 100 images (.jpg) of newspaper articles from the Times and I want to create a summary sheet saying what each article is about. Is there an easy way of copying all the filenames and pasting them into Word, or will I have to write them out individually? Thanks in advance.

Here is an example that creates a txt file of all JPG files beginning with the word Times located on the C drive. Change the ATTRIB statement below to suit your selection, then select and copy the four lines:
attrib /s c:\times*.jpg >"%userprofile%\desktop\myfiles.txt
start notepad "%userprofile%\desktop\myfiles.txt
exit
cls
Now go to Start > Run, type cmd and press Enter. Using the mouse right-click, Paste the 4 copied lines to the command prompt window. When the list has been compiled, Notepad will open and display the list of files.
Select all the text and Copy/Paste it to Word. The listing shows the attributes at the beginning of each line but they can be removed with a bulk replace.
To delete the file from the Desktop, just right-click it then choose Delete.
