Word taskbar icon shows full path rather than just filename
Using Word 2002 under WinXP, all updates etc in place.
Suddenly the Word taskbar icon has taken to showing the full path to files: C:\Documents and Settings\My Name\My Documents\filename Rather than the way it used to: Microsoft Word - filename This makes it very difficult to choose among icons when I have more than one document open as the file's name is at the end of the lengthy path. I just checked and Excel still shows "Microsoft Excel - filename" the way it should. Have I inadvertently changed something in Word? If so, how do I put it back the way it was? -- Bob Kanyak's Doghouse http://www.kanyak.com |

Did you add some macro to show the path in the title bar in Word? If
that's the case then that's the cause. :-) Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

If that's the case then that's the cause. :-) No, but I did add two other macros to do something else (see below) and they apparently had the side effect of showing the path in the title bar. Removing them cleared up the problem. Weird... quote Sub AutoNew() ' ' AutoNew Macro ' With ActiveWindow.View .Type = wdPrintView ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.PageFit = wdPageFitBestFit End With End Sub Sub AutoOpen() ' ' AutoOpen Macro ' ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName With ActiveWindow.View .Type = wdPrintView ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.PageFit = wdPageFitBestFit End With End Sub /quote -- Bob Kanyak's Doghouse http://www.kanyak.com |

Removing them cleared up the problem. Weird... ' AutoOpen Macro ' ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName In your AutoOpen macro the line above is responsible. It looks like you are just trying to force the documents view? If that's the case then just remove the line which sets the caption on your title bar to the full path of the document.
