I assume you're working in Windows. Here's what I'd do. First I'd gather a group
of related documents (probably not all 150 at once) into a folder, and gather
the file names. (I don't know how to do this without using "dir /B" in a command
prompt; maybe you have a quicker way.) I'd then paste the file names into Word,
or whatever program I'm using to assemble my images.
Then I'd open up all the Sketchpad files at once. For each file I'd do a
sequence of keystrokes to copy the entire sketch, switch to Word, and paste the
image before the desired file name. Here are the keystrokes: ctrl-A, ctrl-C,
ctrl-F4, alt-tab to Word, arrow keys to position the cursor at the beginning
of the correct file name, ctrl-V, press return, alt-tab back to Sketchpad,
and repeat for the next sketch. By making this totally a keyboard operation, you
can do it reasonably quickly, and if you have a macro program, you can automate
everything except possibly the arrowing to the correct insertion point.
I hope this helps!
