Directory List And Print – Freeware A Genealogist Will Appreciate

I have just finished printing off 25+ pages of census records, a genealogy report and various other records. I can tell you it was a ‘job well done’!  Yes, I am kind of patting myself on the back, but I found a neat new freeware program in the process and that’s why I’m so pumped. :)

This program, Directory List and Print isn’t just for genealogists, but it sure will come in handy for us. I had a folder with all the genealogical files for this one project I was working on and I wanted to be able to print off the files I’m sending to the client.  DL&P was the perfect solution because one of the options for printing the file was in Word.  I just clicked the Word button in the DL&P program and it opened the Word program for me with the files listed.

I could even have by-passed any other program and just printed it from the working screen, or pressed Excel or just copy it to my clipboard.  There are several ways to fine tune the results before printing too. Take a look at the checklist above.

This was not a paid review.  I just liked the program so much I wanted to share it with my readers.  If you download it, please come back and let me and everyone else just what you thought of it.  See you soon!

  2. I’ve been using screen shots which I then paste into a Word document for years now. This seems like a MUCH better solution. I’ll be using this in the future!

    I’m going to post this as a follow on to a series of articles I recently wrote on archiving and digitally sorting photos from an old photo album of my mother’s.

    Ginger, I’m so happy that it has helped at least one more person than me! I’m not looking for free traffic or anything, but if you would like to pass the link on to others that might find it helpful, please do! :)
