import os

def get_filepaths(directory):
    """
    This function will generate the file names in a directory 
    tree by walking the tree either top-down or bottom-up. For each 
    directory in the tree rooted at directory top (including top itself), 
    it yields a 3-tuple (dirpath, dirnames, filenames).

    file_paths = []  # List which will store all of the full filepaths.

    # Walk the tree.
    for root, directories, files in os.walk(directory):

            # Join the two strings in order to form the full filepath.
            filepath = os.path.join(root, filename)

In MS Windows it works like this:

1. Hold the "Shift" key, right-click the folder containing the files and select "Open Command Window Here."

2. Type "dir /b > filenames.txt" (without quotation marks) in the Command Window. Press "Enter."

3. Inside the folder there should now be a file filenames.txt containing names of all the files etc. inside this folder.

4. Copy and paste this file list into your Word document.
