Can you set a filepath footer as a default in Word?
The school I work in wants to be able to track files from printed copies and
would like all teachers and students to have a footer showing hte filename and path. To make it easier and time efficient, is there a way to set this up to happen automatically in Word 2003? |

You _can_ put such a footer in normal.dot but should not. It would interfere
with labels and envelopes, as well as other documents. You can create a custom template that has the filename path in the footer. Note, though, that this doesn't automatically update. Take a look at http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/File_Name_And_Path.htm.

The following code stamps file name as a footer.
HTH Gil Sub stamper () ' ' stamper macro ' ' If ActiveWindow.View.SplitSpecial wdPaneNone Then ActiveWindow.Panes(2).Close End If If ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdNormalView Or ActiveWindow. _ ActivePane.View.Type = wdOutlineView Or ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type _ = wdMasterView Then ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdPageView End If ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader If Selection.HeaderFooter.IsHeader = True Then ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageFooter Else ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader End If Selection.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphRight Selection.Font.Size = 8 Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, Text:= _ "FILENAME ", PreserveFormatting:=True If ActiveWindow.View.SplitSpecial = wdPaneNone Then ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdNormalView Else ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdNormalView End If End Sub "Charles Kenyon" wrote in message ...
