Using Word 2007 I opened a recent document. Now this document is opened how
do I determine it's directory path where it is stored?
 
Click on File - Properties - General tab
If the directory path is too long I usually highlight it, right click to
copy it.
Open up Notepad to look at it.

And if you can not see Properties as an option then click on the bottom of
the list where two little down arrows are displayed.

Click to expand...

Hover your mouse over the file name in the Recently used Documents list.
You'll see the path in the screen tip. You can also display the Save As
dialog box and "Save In" will reflect the location of the previously saved
document.
