Can I automatically insert document name/location?

Where, oh where, is this command? I remember it years ago in WordPerfect and
I feel like I've looked everywhere. Surely there is a comparable key stroke
or two that will insert the path and document name in my document...??

If I could, I would make my blank page template include it in little tiny
gray letters at the bottom of each page.

Perhaps it is staring me in the face somewhere.

Thanks for comments!

Howdy,

This can be done by clicking on View | Header & Footer, then
Insert | Field. Among the field choices you should find what
you need.

HTH,
 
Okay, I see something about
Insert > Autotext > Autotext > Filname and path > Insert

This seems very laborious. I want an icon to click ! :) Can I make an
icon to click?

Better yet - can I make it part of the normal or blank page template? I
want it at the bottom in 8 pt. type in gray.

Thank you!!!

Wow - you're fast.

Thanks for replying! See my second post with a couple of follow up
questions.

Namely - can I make a toolbar icon that is a "insert filename and path" ?

And... if I wanted it on all documents, could I make it part of the blank
page template?

Thanks!

Insert | AutoText | Header and Footer: Filename and path. Or, if you're
already in the header or footer, it will be on the AutoText menu. Or you can
use Insert | Field to insert it (the AutoText entry is just a { FILENAME
\p } field).

Hello again,

You can certainly make a template. If you use this
frequently, that would be the way to go. And, yes, you can
make it in any font etc. you want.

You mentioned autotext, and in that list there is a choice
of filename & path.

You should be all set.

All the best,
 
TO Kenneth and Suzanne

Wait, wait! I want an icon, too!!!

Can I have an ico, too?? An icon that will "insert filename and path" ??

Hi again,

We will both learn from Suzanne... I have no idea,
 
If you're saying you want a button, sure:

1. Open Tools | Customize.

2. On the Commands tab, scroll down and select the AutoText category.

3. In the Commands list, select "Filename and path."

4. Drag it to a toolbar. It will have a text label. If you want an icon,
you'll have to do two things:

a. Right-click on the button and change the button style to "Default
Style" (which for toolbar buttons is an icon and no text).

b. Right-click on the now blank button and either choose Change Button
Image and select from the rather bizarre assortment of icons or choose Edit
Button Image and create your own.

Thanks for the icon instructions!

Man, I've been wanting this for YEARS!

Way cool. I'm going to post another question on another topic and maybe
I'll hit the jackpot again.

Thank you to you both....!!!

You could ...
Type "Filename and path" and press the F3 key.
