Print Document Path On Multiple Existing Documents

This was very helpful as I'm wanting to do the same thing. I'm wanting to
do what Shauna mentions below and have reviewed and implementing the VBA
script:

" Or, do you want to print the file name within the text of each file (for
example, in the footer)? If so, then you will need to edit each document and
insert the file name. For example, to put the file name in the footer, do
View Headers and Footers. On the Header and Footer toolbar, click "Switch
between Header and Footer". Now, click Insert AutoText and choose Filename
or Filename and path.

To avoid doing this 50 times, once for each document, you could automate it
using VBA. To give you a start in creating the loop to get to each document
in a folder, see
Find & ReplaceAll on a batch of documents in the same folder
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/BatchFR.htm"

My question is that when the Find/Replace diaglogue box comes up, what do I
enter in the Find/Replace area so that the directory path shows up in the
footer area of each document?

Thanks in advance!
