The method I prefer is to display the Web toolbar, hold down the Ctrl and Alt keys, and drag a copy of the address box onto the same row with the menus -- drop it between Help and the "Type a question" box. It'll always show the full path of whatever document currently has the focus, and automatically changes if you click into another document. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

An alternative method that I prefer is to add the line
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName to an autopen macro in normal.dot http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jay Freedman wrote: On 19 Jan 2007 16:46:36 -0800, "trvlnmny" wrote: Using W xp & MS Word 2003.

"trvlnmny" wrote in message oups.com... Using W xp & MS Word 2003. When I have a document open is there any way that I can see the full path of the file name. Thanks. In Windows XP, open Control Panel. Then click Tools, followed by Folder Options, followed by View. Untick the box marked "Hide extensions for known file types". Close Control Panel. Then, start Word. Open the Word document. Click on File, Properties, General. Provided the path is not too long, full details should now appear. The file name (at the top of the page) will show the file extension (usually doc, although Word can also open files with different extensions, including rtf, txt, htm and xml) |

Thanks for the reply.I have gone to Control Panel Tools Folder
Options View. There I Checked Display Full Path in Address Bar and Checked Display Full Path in Title Bar. I unchecked Hide Extensions for Known File Types. I then clicked Apply to All Folders and OK. I then Restarted the computer. Yet when I open a document in Word I do not see the full path name. Either I am doing something wrong or I misunderstand your directions. Bob Lucas wrote: "trvlnmny" wrote in message oups.com... Using W xp & MS Word 2003.

Nor will you - unless you look in File Properties General. Use one of
the other methods if you want to see it from the document window. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org trvlnmny wrote: Thanks for the reply.I have gone to Control Panel Tools Folder Options View.

The easiest solution is to drag the Web Address Tool onto your Menu Bar (IN
WORD). That's why it has been recommended. You can do the same in Excel too. BTW, microsoft.word.general does not exist (it was closed about 8 years ago though some newsservers are still carrying it even now). -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "trvlnmny" wrote in message oups.com...
