Combining files into one folder

Anonymous

I write a series of lessons of 8 separate lessons - each one file.  They are scattered among many files.  So messy.  I want to move all of the lesson files into one folder for easy accessibility rather than hunting through all the files to find the one I want.

I am working in Windows 8.

    Hello Marilyn,

    Would you like to keep all the documents created in single folder in the Computer or copy all the documents contents into one Word document?

    To move all the documents into single folder:

    Go to the location where these documents are saved.

    Then under ‘Home’ tab > Click on ‘New Folder’ under ‘New’ group.

    Right click on each document one at a time > Click on ‘Copy’ then open ‘New Folder’ create, right click on it and click on ‘Paste’. Do the same for all the documents.

    Once copied all the files into ‘New folder’ > delete the documents which are present outside the ‘New Folder’.

    To copy the contents of documents into single Word documents:

    Open each document; select all using Ctrl+A keys. Then right click on it and choose ‘Copy’.

    Once done open new Word document, right click on it and choose ‘Paste’.

    Do the same above steps for all the documents and copy into new document created.

    If you need further clarification, reply and we are happy to assist.

    Thank you.

    Thank-you so much.  It helped a great deal.  I was able to clean up my Documents by making a folder and then putting files into it.  I appreciate your great help.
