Copying multiple file names at once and pasting into spreadsheet

Once I've highlighted all of the files in a folder, I would like to be able to copy the file names and paste them onto an Excel spreadsheet. I was wondering if there was an easy way to do this without having to contact Admin or have Admin permissions. When I select Ctrl+C I get a message that states the files have been copied to the clipboard but when I look at my clipboard the files aren't there. I have to verify all the files in a folder against other files and this would be easier than going through each file name individually.
