I find it annoying that MS word shorthands the full path of document so you
can't be absolutely certain while editing an existing file exactly in what
directory it will be located.

Can anyone tell me how to force MS word to indicate the full path to a file?
You can easily do that ( default mode) in Word Perfect.

Please help. If possible, respond to me via

Thanks,

Display the Web toolbar. Hold down the Ctrl and Alt keys while you
grab the address box and drag it to the menu bar, dropping the copy to
the right of the Help menu. That box will always show the full path of
the current document.

Add the line
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
to an AutoOpen macro in normal.dot. The document path will then be shown in
the title bar.
