Can I create or modify an autotext entry to show only the path to a file and
not the name of the file (document). I need the path as a location in the
footer but the document name is already included elsewhere.
I'm using Word 2003 at work.

I don't see why not. Have you tried it?

The following macro will insert the path of the active document.

Sub InsertPath()
Dim pPathname As String
With ActiveDocument
If Not .Saved Then
.Save
End If
pPathname = Left$(.FullName, (Len(.FullName) - Len(.Name) - 1))
End With
Selection.TypeText pPathname
End Sub
