inserting file's location in footer
In Office 2003: Click View-Header and Footer. The Header and Footer menu
should appear along with the Header box. Click on the icon "Switch between Header and Footer" (ninth icon) and the Footer box will appear for you to type your text. Close box when done. When editing you can simply click on the footer text and the box will open.

inserting file's location in footer
With a document that contains several sections, there can be several
different footers. You would have to choose which footer(s) you wanted to insert the field into. My preferred method would be to use a macro to insert and update the filename field in the footer. The following macro will insert the filename and path in each footer of each section of the document after any existing footer content. It will only insert the field once, and just updates the field if already present. Sub InsertFilenameInFooter() Dim oSection As Section Dim ofooter As HeaderFooter Dim oRng As Range Dim oFld As Field ActiveDocument.Save For Each oSection In ActiveDocument.Sections For Each ofooter In oSection.Footers Set oRng = ofooter.Range With oRng For Each oFld In oRng.Fields If oFld.Type = wdFieldFileName Then oFld.Update Exit Sub End If Next oFld If Len(oRng) 1 Then .InsertAfter vbCr End If .Start = ofooter.Range.End .End = ofooter.Range.End .Fields.Add oRng, wdFieldFileName, "\p", False .ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphRight .Font.Size = 8 .Fields.Update End With Next ofooter Next oSection ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = False End Sub Alternatively if you want to insert the filename and path at the end of the document, the following macro will do that Sub InsertFilenameAtEnd() Dim oRng As Range Dim oFld As Field ActiveDocument.Save Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Paragraphs.Last.Range With oRng For Each oFld In oRng.Fields If oFld.Type = wdFieldFileName Then oFld.Update Exit Sub End If Next oFld If Len(oRng) 1 Then .InsertAfter vbCr End If .Start = ActiveDocument.Paragraphs.Last.Range.Start .End = ActiveDocument.Range.End .Fields.Add oRng, wdFieldFileName, "\p", False .ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphRight .Font.Size = 8 .Fields.Update End With ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = False End Sub http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "asf66" wrote in message ...
