Search your computer for files ending with a .doc, .docx, .xls, or .xlsx file extension.

Output the filenames and sizes (in groups by file extension) to a text file named “File_Summary.txt”. The output should also conclude with a total of the number of files and total file size for each file extension.

Paste the script and the file output to your MS Word document
