how do i display file location of active document in word taskbar. in
previous word versions i could get it to show up just like font type and
size. i haven't been able to figure it out and can't find anything in any of
the helps.
The solution I prefer is this: Open the Tools > Customize dialog. In
the Toolbars tab, check the Web toolbar to make it appear. Hold down
the Ctrl key (which lets you copy instead of move) and drag the
address box from the Web toolbar to the big empty space to the right
of "Help" on the menu bar. Close the Customize dialog. Now the full
path and file name of the current document will always appear in that
address box.
An alternative is to write a macro named AutoOpen in your Normal.dot
template that puts the path and file name in the title bar:
Public Sub AutoOpen
Application.Caption=ActiveDocument.FullName
End Sub
This has the drawback that if you switch among several open documents,
or use File > Save As to change the name of the current document, the
title bar won't be updated. You can write more macros to intercept
those events, but it gets cumbersome. The Web address box is much
simpler.
