How to have the name of the file on top of the window show full path

O

How do my Word documents can show the full path of the open file or document
on top of the window?

This is helpful when you have open many files and each is located on a
different folder.

Please advise where are the settings for this.

Thanks in advance.

For versions of Word prior to Word 2007, you can edit the Toolbars and drag
the Web Address tool and drop it on the Menu Bar. Then pull it out to fill
the remaining space in the Menu Bar. This will now display the full address
including path of the open document.

If you add the following macro to the normal template

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
End Sub

See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm

the folder where an open document is located will be shown in the Word title
bar. Works for all Word versions.
