i use ms word. i have both tiger and panther on separate machines. is there an easy to use freeware or shareware utility that can printout an index or directory of all the files in a folder. i know there one that comes with mac that is horribly ridiculous and only prints out what appears on the screen. files below must go through the same process. any help much appreciated.


If you're familiar with the command line, this works on *my machine*. cd <to directory you want>
'ls | lpr' will print it.
'ls -R | lpr' will print it recursively.
Neither requires a third party application.
I doubt I understood your question.

I think you understood him. I'd only add that he might want to use "ls -l | lpr" instead and that there are many other possibilities; see "man ls".


The command line also offers the ability to sort however you like; for example

 ls -l | sort -r +4

and so on..
