Default how do I add a filename field to a template

Using Word 2003, I want the filename of documents created from this template
to appear in the footer of each page. Therefore the field/entry in the
template footer needs to update when the document is created (saved).

To insert the filename, select the "Filename" or "Filename and path"
AutoText entry from the menu on the Header and Footer toolbar. Note that the
field will not update automatically when you save a new document but will
update when other header/footer fields are updated (such as when you print
or switch to Print Preview).
