For Word 2003 or earlier: Open the Tools Customize dialog and click the Commands tab. In the Categories list, click AutoText. In the Commands list, find "Filename and path", and drag that item from the Customize dialog to the place on the toolbar where you want it. Initially the button will have just the text "Filename and path". Right-click it, click "Change button image", and select an icon. Right-click again and click "Default style" to make the button show only the icon.

How do I add 'insert filepath' command to a button?
You've already received three answers to this question in the new thread you
started three hours earlier. Any one of them will solve the issue. The answer I would have given you is substantially the same as Graham Mayor's. Also, please understand that email replies to newsgroup posts are rare. The point of the newsgroups is that answers are posted as replies to the questions, so that anyone can read them and the whole community benefits. jstiglets wrote: I have MS Office 2007. Can you provide instructions for adding a button for filename/path for 2007? and could you reply back to me at ?

How do I add 'insert filepath' command to a button?
Yes, I saw the other replies, but this question relates to setting up a
button. I am talking about adding a button to my file menu, not setting up a template. Adding a button and setting up a template seem to be two different things.

and, in your reply to LayB you wrote, "If you have Word 2007, post back for
different instructions" which is what I did. "Jay Freedman" wrote: You've already received three answers to this question in the new thread you started three hours earlier.

How do I add 'insert filepath' command to a button?
Graham posted a macro in his reply. Store that macro in your Normal.dotm
template (see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if you need help with that). Then create a button on the Quick Access Toolbar to run the macro. To do that, go to Office button Word Options Customize, set the category to Macros, select your new macro, and click the Add button. If you want, you can then click the Modify button to change the icon that will appear on the Quick Access Toolbar and to edit the text of the tooltip. jstiglets wrote: Yes, I saw the other replies, but this question relates to setting up a button.
