How to get the File Name into the Footer in Word 2007

[Roger Wells]

In Word 2003 having the File Name and Path be shown in either the Header or
the Footer was simple as it was listed as an option. I cannot find out how to
do this in Word 2007. Any help would be apreciated.

[Greg Maxey]

Insert a FILENAME field in the footer. Open the footer. Press CTRL
+F9, type FILENAME inside the field braces, right click and toggle the
the field code display.

An easier way...I think....is to select "quick parts" then "field" and scorll
down to filename....

Here's a template you can download that contains Building Blocks for the
Filename and Path along with instructions for copying them so they'll be
available to all documents:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/TC300002951033.aspx?pid=C...

Note: To avoid errors with this delivery method, exit Word prior to
downloading the template. If you don't, you could encounter an "in use"
error if you've already accessed a Building Blocks gallery in Word.

Also, this is a temporary solution. Building Blocks for the filename and
path is slated for publishing in the Building Blocks gallery, instead of the
Template gallery, which will make the delivery seamless - you won't need to
exit Word first and then copy the Building Blocks. :-)
