Go to Footer and type "Filename a" press F3 and autotext entry will play.
Autotext is now in Building Blocks Organizer which can be added to QAT or accessed via QuickParts on Ribbon. Autotext will play if you type enough distinctive characters and press F3.

Position the insertion point where you want the filename to appear, then:
Press Ctrl+F9. This inserts field braces { }. Between the braces, type: filename \p Press F9. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Knowledge in Action" wrote in message ...

It works with fewer characters, but what you type must be unique. If you
have Alexandria and Alexander, then you would need to type Alexandr or Alexande before pressing F3 to get a result. If you type only Alex and press F3, Word doesn't know which one to insert. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Suzanne S.
