Folks,

I am trying to set up a simple macro in word 2007 to put the filename
and page x of y in the footer of each page. So far my attempts always
result in errors. I do not want to make a form or template because
other send me documents that I would like to perform this action on as
well.

Please advise.

Sincerely,

Judith

Still no macro needed. Save the FILENAME field and Page X of Y as AutoText
entries (building blocks). Assign them keyboard shortcuts if desired.

In the New dialog box search for "Filename". The search results should
include a template for "Building Blocks for inserting file name and path".
Download it and follow the instructions to copy the building blocks in the
template to your Building Blocks template so they can be used in any
document.
