Default How do I add 'insert filepath' command to a button?

You've already received three answers to this question in the new thread you
started three hours earlier. Any one of them will solve the issue. The
answer I would have given you is substantially the same as Graham Mayor's.

Also, please understand that email replies to newsgroup posts are rare. The
point of the newsgroups is that answers are posted as replies to the
questions, so that anyone can read them and the whole community benefits.

If you have Word 2007, post back for different instructions. For
Word 2003 or earlier:

Open the Tools Customize dialog and click the Commands tab. In the
Categories list, click AutoText. In the Commands list, find
"Filename and path", and drag that item from the Customize dialog to
the place on the toolbar where you want it.

Initially the button will have just the text "Filename and path".
Right-click it, click "Change button image", and select an icon.
Right-click again and click "Default style" to make the button show
only the icon.
