I see that you have decided to persevere, stick with Word2007 awhile longer,
and shelve the profanity ;-)
This time I can commiserate with you over your angst. For whatever reason
the developers haven't included File Name or File and Path into the
collection of built-in footer gallery buidling blocks. All is not lost.
You can easily resolve this to your satisfaction.
Create and save a new blank document. Name it anything and save it
anywhere. Then click in the footer, press CTRL+F9, and in the field code
brackets that appear type FileName \p. Right click the field and press
"Update field" then toggle field code.
Now select the entire text and paragraph mark. On the Insert Tab, click the
Header & Footer Group, then click the Footer control. At the bottom of the
gallery that appear click "Save selection to footer gallery." Follow the
prompts in the dialog to create and save the new building block item. In
the future, the item will appear in that gallery.

Okay, searched for 15 minutes and still can't figure out how to do
this.
I want to insert the filename and path into a footer. In Word 2003,
there was a function that popped up when you inserted a footer that
allowed you to select pre-determined info to insert in the footer --
date, page number, filename, filename and path, author, etc.
Where is this in Word 2007???
Thanks.
