ExifTool is a fantastic tool, and we are happy to discover its power.

We would like to generate a line of output for skipped files, such as when ExifTool hits a MS Word file, corrupted file or any other files that are skipped and include the file path and file name. 

Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

ExifTool does read MS Word files.

But if you want it to print a message about unknown file types and other errors, you can do this:

exiftool -error -ext "*" DIR

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

Thank you Phil for your input and quick response!  This worked exactly as we needed.
