My problem is this; I have copied several (250+) short texts from a fre
corpus, each to it's own word-file. The texts are swedish newspape
colums and I have named the files by date.

Now I need to print all these out but I also need to know th
chronological order of the print outs. So to recap; The documen
filenames are NAMED by the date, but the docs itself contain no dat
marking.

So I have two options: I go thru all the 250+ docs and copy the dat
from the FILENAME and type the dates in the DOCUMENT by hand or I chec
a check-box in Word so it shows the current file name on the currentl
printed sheet (just like in Windows notepad)

But where is such a check-box? :) Like I said, notepad does this b
default, so I'm sure Word has this option also.

Thanks!

You can insert the { FILENAME } field in the document to display the date in
any chosen format (see
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/DateFields.htm). For the future, I
would advise creating a template that already contains this field; then
create a new document based on this template to paste your text into. For
now, you may be able to automate the insertion of this field in your 250
files using a macro such as that at
