Using Batch Files

Here's the steps I would take to help Dennis with what he needed to do. I actually performed these steps on my own computer to see how they would work.

1. I don't have Word on my computer, so I instead created a Works document file entitled MyList. Here's the path to it: C:\Documents and Settings\ShAnNi\Desktop\MyList.wps.

2. I created a folder named C:\data.

3. I created a batch file by typing "COPY C:\Documents and Settings\ShAnNi\Desktop\MyList.wps C:\data\MyList.wps" in Notepad and saving it to the Desktop as MyBatch.bat.

4. The path to the batch file is "COPY C:\Documents and Settings\ShAnNi\Desktop\MyBatch.bat".
