I want to set Word to open all new docum,ents with a footer already set which
shows the file and path name.

How can I set this?

Create a template or open an existing template. Insert the FILENAME
field in the footer. Save and close the file.

You can insert the filename or filename and path using the appropriate entry
from the AutoText menu on the Header and Footer toolbar. But do *not* add
this footer to Normal.dot.

Ian, the reason for this is briefly discussed in the article at

Hmm. So it is. I wrote that so long ago that I'd forgotten. It's also
discussed in the more recent article at
