Default How to put the "file path" in a footer or at the bottom of the pag

I want the "location of the document" in the computer to be printed on the
document so I can locate it if necessary. It was called "inserting file
path" in the older version. Thank you.

Basically it's just a field, {FileName \p}, where the \p switch means
to include the path. You can insert this in Word 2007 by clicking
Insert Quick Parts Field, choosing FileName in the list, and
checking the box for "Add path to filename".

If you want a building block to appear in the header or footer
gallery, go to Office Button New; in the search box at the top,
enter the word Filename; and download the template it finds. Follow
the instructions in the template to install the building blocks.
