Default File Name & Path Error

I have no idea of the source of the Word Filename Field or the Excel &[File]
but I doubt it differs from what is shown in the Title bar suggesting a
presentation issue rather than a data issue. If you change the font in
either Word or Excel footers do you still see the problem?

Tony, This problem is isolated to footer/header function in Word and
Excel.
The Title Bar displays the name of the document just fine. I can add data
to
header/footer which save to the document just fine. It's only the auto
insert
function in the header/footer for file name and path that don't display
properly.

If you're seeing the same thing in Footer File names in both Word and
Excel
(and only in file names) it suggests that the problem is in the file
names
themselves rather than the presentation by the Office applications. Can
you
see the file names correctly elsewhere (the Title Bar, say)? Do you see
similar odd characters in other data added to Footers?

Every time I try to insert the File Name & Path via the Header/Footer
Insert
Function in Word the file name and path displays odd looking
text...none
of
which resembles anything legible. I also get the same showing up in
Excel.
Currently operating off our company's server so I'm not sure if its a
setting
within Word or a server setting.
