After merging a document and saving to a new location, why doesn't the
file/pathname update in the footers? Can you tell me how to do this or am I
out of luck and have to replace all footers in all sections.

Hi ?B?TW9uYSBXZWJi?=,

After merging a document and saving to a new location, why doesn't the
file/pathname update in the footers? Can you tell me how to do this or am I
out of luck and have to replace all footers in all sections.

It's unclear what you mean by "merging a document"?

But have you tried (for example) switching into Print Preview? Fields in the
headers/footers will generally update when you print, or switch into/out of a
"Print" view.
