Default insert filepath/name of document into the header Office 2007

Did you use Ctrl+F9 to insert the field braces before typing the field
syntax?

Jay,

I can't seem to make that work. I typed it in the text field offered when

I
opened the header. It just stayed exactly what I typed.

Open the header. Insert a field with the code

FILENAME \p

In previous Word versions this field was a standard AutoText entry, but
somebody at Microsoft apparently thought it wasn't needed any more (or

just
forgot). You can make it into an AutoText entry for yourself.
