DISPLAY FILE PATH IN WORD 2007?

[bruce_hogman]

How do I display the full file path in Word 2007 when editing the same named
document in two sessions, where those documents reside on two separate
servers or paths?

Word 2003 provided the VIEW, TOOLBARS, WEB menu selection choices to show
the full file path and name. That made it very easy to know which document
you were working with, as well as to make it very easy to insert a document
into email as an attachment.

Right-click the Quick Access Toolbar and choose the Customize item.

In the Customize dialog, set the category to Commands Not in the Ribbon.

Select the Document Location command and click the Add button in the center
of the dialog, then click OK.

The document's full path will be in the box on the Quick Access Toolbar. You
can click in the box and copy the content to the clipboard, or scroll it
left and right with the arrow keys to read the whole path.

Thanks.
Adding the "DOCUMENT LOCATION" item under that quick access toolbar shows
the document's full path.
This is the way to accomplish the WORD 2003 VIEW,TOOLBARS,WEB display of the
full path of the document in WORD 2007.

Many thanks.
BTW, WORD 2007 HELP was completely without help on this topic.
