Default autotext problem

Create your own autotext entry to insert a filename field with a \p switch
or
simply insert the filename field in the footer.
or
use a macro to insert the filename

Sub InsertFilenameInFooter()
Dim iSec As Integer
Dim rFooter As Range
With ActiveDocument
If Len(.Path) = 0 Then .Save
iSec = .Sections.Count
Set rFooter = .Sections(iSec).Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Ran ge
rFooter.InsertAfter vbCr & .FullName
With rFooter.Paragraphs(rFooter.Paragraphs.Count)
.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphRight
With .Range
.Font.name = "Arial"
.Font.Size = 8
End With
End With
End With
End Sub
