Default Full Path of a file name

Nor will you - unless you look in File Properties General. Use one of
the other methods if you want to see it from the document window.

Thanks for the reply.I have gone to Control Panel Tools Folder
Options View. There I Checked Display Full Path in Address Bar and
Checked Display Full Path in Title Bar. I unchecked Hide Extensions
for Known File Types. I then clicked Apply to All Folders and OK. I
then Restarted the computer. Yet when I open a document in Word I do
not see the full path name.
Either I am doing something wrong or I misunderstand your directions.

Using W xp & MS Word 2003. When I have a document open is there any
way that I can see the full path of the file name.
Thanks.


In Windows XP, open Control Panel. Then click Tools, followed by
Folder Options, followed by View. Untick the box marked "Hide
extensions for known file types". Close Control Panel.

Then, start Word. Open the Word document. Click on File,
Properties, General. Provided the path is not too long, full
details should now appear. The file name (at the top of the page)
will show the file extension (usually doc, although Word can also
open files with different extensions, including rtf, txt, htm and
xml)
