How do youinsert the filename within a header?

[Guest]

In older versions of Word, one of the options within the header was to insert
the filename. I used this frequently in order to keep up with different
versions of the same basic document. I have not been able to locate this
feature in the new version. Does it still exist and where is it hidden?

On the Insert Tab, locate the Text Group - Click the Quick Parts
Command. Select Field.
Find FileName in the field list. You can also checkmark on whether you
want the path included.

Once you have the FileName in your Header like you want it, then you can
select all the text in the Header and ALT+F3 and add it to the Header
Gallery. Then in the future, you can pull it out of your Header Gallery.

hi Mickie,

A quick way - Press Alt-I then F and select 'Filename from the dropdown.

Cheers
