RE: NB7 help with files please

Maureen,

At least for your second question it seems that you will have to open each
file: insert the command VA$FP in the suitable command-brackets into your
header or footer where you want the filename and path to appear.

For printing you could create a manuscript file (in the "File" menu), but
you will still have to double-click on the name of every file you want to
include in the manuscript file. But if you decide to include the path and
filename you would have to open the files anyway and could print them there.

But have you thought of using Orbis in order to refamiliarize yourself with
your previous work? Orbis is made for this kind of task and the time you
invest into getting accustomed to it is worthwhile because you can continue
using it on all kinds of notes and drafts in the process of writing your
dissertation.
