I do computer forensic, accounting, and legal work. I have to print out thousands of excel and word files WITH the file name printed (as either a footer or header). The reason I need to print the file names is for legal purposes--I need to identity the file name of the document.

I print out documents via mycomputer. I highlight around 40-50 files, right click, and select print. The files print out in a random order.

How do I get every existing document to print with its file name? I created folders named: word docs, excel files, pdf files, text files, etc.

I found an interim solution, and that is to print a "cover sheet" of the document properties (which contains the file name). I then have to manually write the file name on the printed document.

Some people have suggested that I use a macro, file scripting to cycle through files in a folder and apply a footer of &[file] automatically. How do I do this?
