file name & path "Ed" <loom[ at ]alphalink.com.au> 10/28/2008 11:34:54 PM Good morning, In Word 03 I was able to have the file name & path inserted as a header/footer in any document. In Word 2007 only file name appears to be available in the same option area. Has the path insertion bit been dropped or is it still available in a different menu area? Many thanks any info.

Word 2007 has gone to a lot of trouble to hide things. It's a little game of hide and seek. Here's how you find the filename field and use the path option: 1. Open up the header or footer (or wherever esle you want the field). 2. Click on the Insert tab on the ribbon. 3. Click on the Quick Parts drop down in the Text section. (How comew that wasn't obvious to you? ;-) 4. Click on the Field option. 5. Scroll down to Filename in the Field Names panel (or type "f"). 6. Check the "Add path to filename" option in the upper right hand corner. 7. Click OK. Easy huh?
