Using Word 2007 and opening a recent document. How do I determine the Directory path that this document is in? Here are a few ways: 1. Add a "file name and path" field somewhere in the document. Type filename \p (note the space before the backslash), select that text, press Ctrl+F9 to make it a field, and press F9 to update it. If you don't want the field in the document permanently, click Undo to get rid of it. 2. Add a Document Location box to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the down arrow at the right end of the toolbar and choose More Commands. Set the category to Commands Not In the Ribbon, click on Document Location, and click the Add button, then OK. This box shows the full path of the current document, although you may have to click in the box and press the right-arrow key to see all of it. 3. Click the Office button Save As to see where it suggests saving -- that should be the same folder from which the document was opened. Click Cancel to dismiss the dialog. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Or to add to your choice...
Create an AutoOpen macro stored in Normal.dotm with the following code: ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName This may help if you need it: http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "DownTownBrown" wrote in message ...

To add to the other suggestions, if you add an Advanced Document Properties
button to the QAT, you can open the Properties dialog and see the full path at Location on the General tab. -- Suzanne S.
