Is there a way to have the file name and path that I insert in the footer on
a Word document automatically updated if I move the file to another folder?

To update the FILENAME field automatically, you would have to make use of an
auto macro; see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/832897/en-us ("The FILENAME
field does not automatically update when you open a document in Word").

Note, however, that you can quickly force an update by switching to Print
Preview and then back to your favorite view; you can use Ctrl+F2 for this
purpose (acts as a toggle).
