Default How do I display the UNC path of my document?

In Office 2003 I was able to select the View -Toolbars -Web and the UNC path
of the document was displayed ie \\servername\general\.... We use a lot of
links to documents on our file server and it was a handy , useful and quick
way to get the web address of the document.
I have looked at Prepare - Document propertise in Word 2007, but this just
displays the drive letter path e.g. P:\General\...
Any one know how I can do this?


You can put the same location box on your Quick Access Toolbar and it will show
UNC paths.

Right-click the Quick Access Toolbar and choose Customize. In the dialog, set
the category dropdown to Commands Not in the Ribbon. Select "Document Location"
from the list and click the Add button to place it in the right-hand column.
Click OK and enjoy.
