Adding filename and path to footer
Okay, searched for 15 minutes and still can't figure out how to do this.
I want to insert the filename and path into a footer. In Word 2003, there was a function that popped up when you inserted a footer that allowed you to select pre-determined info to insert in the footer -- date, page number, filename, filename and path, author, etc. Where is this in Word 2007??? Thanks. |

Adding filename and path to footer
I see that you have decided to persevere, stick with Word2007 awhile longer,
and shelve the profanity ;-) This time I can commiserate with you over your angst. For whatever reason the developers haven't included File Name or File and Path into the collection of built-in footer gallery buidling blocks. All is not lost. You can easily resolve this to your satisfaction. Create and save a new blank document. Name it anything and save it anywhere. Then click in the footer, press CTRL+F9, and in the field code brackets that appear type FileName \p. Right click the field and press "Update field" then toggle field code. Now select the entire text and paragraph mark. On the Insert Tab, click the Header & Footer Group, then click the Footer control. At the bottom of the gallery that appear click "Save selection to footer gallery." Follow the prompts in the dialog to create and save the new building block item. In the future, the item will appear in that gallery.

Adding filename and path to footer
That is helpful. The addtion of the "(" in the definition makes them appear
at the top of the gallery before the regular built-in clutter (personal opinion ;-) ). Suzanne S.

What will happen if I stick my original Word 2003 CD in the computer and install Word 2003 -- will I crash my system, screw up Word 2007 -- or -- will it simply install Word 2003 so I can use it and not use 2007?? Or maybe I should try it and see what happens -- set a restore point to return to in case it turns out bad. Thanks. |

Adding filename and path to footer
Actually Word2003 and Word2007 get along together quite nicely. I have both
installed and use both nearly everyday. You don't need to set a restore point (but I don't suppose it is a bad idea). Graham Mayor has some pointers for running both applications together http://www.gmayor.com/Toolbars_in_word_2007.htm. If you read that first you shouldn't have any problems.
