Re: How do I multiple word documents in date order?

A batch file is where you have the name of each file in the order you want them to print. In the time it would take you to create, configure and test the batch file, you could have done these one at a time. You can r-click print at least 15 per minute, which would have taken 10 minutes tops.

Many thanks Bob. Any idea how to write a suitable batch file - sorry am a beginner for this type of thing ?

You must specify the order they are to be printed in some manner. You could drag and drop each file on the printer Icon, you could write a batch file file that listed each file in the order it is to print. So no it isn't the only way. But you can't just select a group and send to printer as the "sort order" is a visual thing, and doesn't affect the order in which the files are located and passed to the print queue.

Thanks for that Bob. Is that the only way ? there are over 140 documents - mainly 1 - 2 page letters.

You must send them to the printer in the order you want them to print. Open Windows explorer. Sort by date r-click the first one, Print, rclick the second, Print etc.

I would like to print a copy of word documents created over the past few months. I have used search to find, select and arrange these in date order, but when I print them they are in a random order.
I would like to be able to print them in date order so that I can file them in date order. At the moment I have to select a few at a time and print them in batches which is quite long winded but also still does not put them in date order within the batch.
Have tried help files and on-line but no joy. Any help/tips gratefully received.
