Default How do I display the full path in the top left corner of Word?

When you are working in Word, is it possible to display the full path of the
document including it's location, in the upper left hand corner of the title
bar. Usually, it only displays the name of the document.

Thanks

To show the path in the Word 2003 (or earlier) window title bar, click
on Tools | Macro | Macros, add the following line to your AutoOpen macro:

ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName

To show the path in the Word 2003 (or earlier) toolbar area, click on
Tools | Customize | Commands | Categories: Web | Commands: Address.
Drag the Address command to your toolbar area. Click on Close. If you
are prompted to save changes to your Normal.dot global template when you
exit Word, say yes.

You can use Explorer
WinKey E (Explorer)

Folder Options

View

Check box "Display full path in Address Bar"

Check box "Display full path in Title Bar"

Click "APPLY TO ALL FOLDERS"

OK

Hope this helps.

You can do that, but it won't show the path in the *Word* title bar - for
that you need a Word macro.
