Adding a path to a footnote
I want to be able to add a path (showing where the document is saved) in a
footnote. How is that done? |

Adding a path to a footnote
The document name and path can be displayed using the filename field with
the \p switch. Press Ctrl+F9 Type: filename \p Press F9 If you want only the path -- and not the filename -- you would need to use a macro. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Kerri" wrote in message ...

How do I fix it so that the field is automatically updated every time the filename is changed?

Adding a path to a footnote
If the field is in the header or footer, it will update when you print (and
possibly when you Print Preview) even if you don't have "Update fields" checked on the Print tab of Tools | Options (fields in the header and footer are always updated); otherwise, you do have to update manually (you can also use Ctrl+A, Ctrl+F9 to update fields in the document body). -- Suzanne S.

Adding a path to a footnote
Unfortunately, the filename field is not all that dynamic when it comes to
updates. Easier than right-clicking and clicking Update is to click on the field and press F9. But, it still has to be done, unfortunately. Anything more automatic would need a macro... (you could, for example, create an AutoOpen macro that automatically updates the filename field each time a file is opened). -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Opinicus" wrote in message ...
