Default Adding doc title as a footer to all docs saved and created

If you are referring to the file name, you can insert the FILENAME
field into the header (or footer). For existing documents, this must
be done for each file (though a macro could probably automate the
process). For new documents, add the field to your template.

Note that, in recent versions of Word, the FILENAME field doesn't
update automatically when a document is opened. To force an update,
you can switch to Print Preview and then back, or use the macro in the
article at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm.

I think it would be very helpful at this point to be able to add the

document
title to all documents, as a footer, on all saved documents without

opening
and adding to each individual document. I am getting so many saved

documents
that I spend alot of time looking for where I saved the document. I

may have
the paper copy in my hand and spend 20 minutes, with some profanity,

looking
for the saved document.
Also a default setting so that all newly created documents will have

the
document title as a footer, automatically. I suppose that some

documents I
create I wouldn't want this footer. I could delete it as I see fit

before
printing?
