How to automatically include file and pathname in every document

[Guest]

I would like to set the default in my computer to automatically include the
file and path name on every document created in Word. Is that possible?

Although technically you could do this by inserting a {FILENAME \p} field in
the footer of the Normal.dot template, it's a Bad IdeaT. Because that
template is also used by the label wizard, having anything in its footer
would cause the labels to print out of place. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/CustomizeNormalTemplate.htm, in the
section "To add a header, footer, or other static text", for advice.
