To show the path in the Word window title bar, click on Tools |
Macro | Macros, add the following line to your AutoOpen macro:

ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName

To show the path in the Word toolbar area, click on Tools |
Customize | Commands | Categories: Web | Commands: Address. Drag
the Address command to your toolbar area. Click on Close. If
you are prompted to save changes to your Normal.dot global
template when you exit Word, say yes.
