I have managed to create a footer for the insertion of filename and path in Word 2007 documents. This appears in the Footer Gallery and works well on any saved document if I go to Insert, Footer and then scroll down to select my footer. This is a bit tedious so I have been trying to record a macro for this and put it on the Quick Access Toolbar. The macro records without problem and I assign it to a button on the qat as instructed. However, when I try to run it on any document I get a runtime error 5941 notifying 'the requested member of the collection does not exist'. I am stumped over this and wonder if anyone else has tried this. I have other macros which I used to use with Word 2000 and will recreate these, but I do need a one button access for them, not a hunt through menus.

It is not the adding of the macro to the QAT that's the problem but that the
macro recorder makes a dog's breakfast of recording matters relating to
building blocks. However, there can be any number of footers in a document.
The following macro will insert the filename and path in all the footers of
a document after any existing footer.

Sub InsertPathInFooters()
Dim iSec As Integer
Dim oFooter As HeaderFooter
Dim oSection As Section
Dim rFooter As Range
With ActiveDocument
If Len(.Path) = 0 Then .Save
For Each oSection In ActiveDocument.Sections
For Each oFooter In oSection.Footers
Set rFooter = oFooter.Range
rFooter.InsertAfter vbCr & .FullName
With rFooter.Paragraphs(rFooter.Paragraphs.Count)
.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphRight
With .Range
.Font.name = "Arial"
.Font.Size = 8
End With
End With
Next oFooter
Next oSection
End With
End Sub

Another option is to add the path and filename to your template, so it
will be there automatically.

Thank you for the macro. I have to confess I don't know what to do with your blueprint above. How can I copy this or do I have to go through the commands? I have seen other macros written like this on forums, but it is time I learned what you do with them. I am about intermediate but haven't done much beyond uncomplicated addition of a few macro buttons in Word 2000 - how can this version 2007 be an improvement? I am finding it non-intuitive and have downloaded the interactive old 2000 version which does help somewhat.
