Default File location in status bar

Is it possible to get the file location in the status bar on Word 07?

No, but you can put it in the title bar with a macro in the normal template.

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
End Sub

Thanks, that helps. The problem with doing that is that it also show
the file location in the vista taskbar...this is annoying when you
have multiple word files open. Any way to have the file location in
the title bar, but the file name only displayed in the taskbar?

I don't know anything about Vista or whether it is possible to limit what is
displayed in the Windows task bar, but adding the file path to the title bar
shouldn't make any difference to the task bar. Maybe

a start point?
