Hello!!!

Does any body know how to print the document's location path as a foot page or similar in Microsoft Word 2003?, is it possible to configurate Word so that every printed document has it?

Thanks in advance!!!
 




Hi,

What do you mean by "foot page?" Footers and Headers are ON a page, but they are not pages in themselves.

Check out Insert > Field - FILENAME

Just a note to Skip's post. If you want the path, you need the \p switch to the FILENAME field. Otherwise, it just returns....the file name.

If you want it in every document, put the field in your Normal.dot file; or the attached template if it is not Normal.

If you want to have it for every printed document - but not until it is printed - you will have to intercept/overwrite the print command.

There is an Autotext entry for path as well. Under Headers and Footers drop down.
