Click to expand...

While the cursor is in the footer, go to Insert > Field and select
LastSavedBy.

This field (and most fields) won't update automatically. You can
select it and press F9 to update it manually. If you go to Tools >
Options > Print and make sure the "Update fields" option is checked,
then printing or just going into Print Preview will update it.
 
You could get it to update automatically by inserting macros similar to
those at http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/File_Name_And_Path.htm to force an update
upon saving.
