Is it possible to automate and "force" all users to include a footer in each
document, spreadsheet etc. that shows the path?
I know each person can set that up themselves but I would like to default
everone to it. How can that be done?

The various applications use different models, so I can only speak for Word...

In Word, the best thing to do would be to set up a template (or set of
templates) containing everything people need for that type of document (letter,
memo, fax, whatever). The footer can contain a FileName field with the \p
switch (for the path).

Users can then select the type of template they want to use from the File/New
dialogbox / taskpane.

There is a default template - Normal.dot - but if you put the footer into that,
it could interfere with other things (such as labels).
