In Wordperfect the Path & filename displays in that blue bar at the top. In
Word (2003), only the filename & application appears there. Is there a way to
get the path & filename to display in that blue bar?
 
One way is to click on Tools | Macro | Macros, add the following
line to your AutoOpen macro:

ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName

Another way is to click on Tools | Customize | Commands |
Categories: Web | Commands: Address. Drag the Address command to
your toolbar area. Click on Close. If you are prompted to save
changes to your Normal.dot global template when you exit Word,
say yes. Obviously, this method puts the path in the toolbar
area, not in the title bar at the top of the screen.

And why can't Microsoft make it easier than having to add a line to a macro?
Why can't they be as smart as others and make it a simple checkbox in options?
