Make title bar show path for file
Hi,
In Word 2003 (in WinXP Pro SP3) I would like the title bar to show the path at which the document on which I'm working is located. Could someone explain to me how to do that? Thanks in advance. Dan |

One way is to click on Tools | Macro | Macros, add the following
line to your AutoOpen() macro: ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if you don't know how to install a macro. Another way is to click on Tools | Customize | Commands | Categories: Web | Commands: Address. Drag the Address command to your toolbar area. Click on Close. If you are prompted to save changes to your Normal.dot global template when you exit Word, say yes. Obviously, this method puts the path in the toolbar area, not in the title bar at the top of the screen.

Make title bar show path for file
I'm using Word 2002. Is it different in Word 2002? Under Macros there is no
AutoOpen() macro but there is an "AutoExec" macro which has a lot of content. Should I add ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName and if so, where? Thanks.

Yes, but that doesn't do what you requested, for which you need the macro.

Do you not READ the answers? Garfield-n-Oldie suggested this solution in his very first reply to you.
