insert path and file name on my not-so quick bar

[mskappy]

I want to be able to put the file and path function on this quickbar as I did
in the 2003 version (on the menu bar) so I can insert the path/file name in
one step - click (as before) and not click through a myriad of unrelated
menus to perform this function.

This new version is cumbersome at best. It's a dumbed down, bare bones,
bastardized version of an already inferior word processing software
application. As a matter of fact, I think DOS was easier....at least once
you knew the control keys, etc., you could navigate easily.... And Word
Perfect was certainly ions ahead of Microsoft anyway. How can you NOT have a
print key on the ribbon? And then you have to add it to this bare bones
application to a "quick" (NOT) bar where the icons are so small it's hard to
decipher. Who, pray tell thought this up? And where are the shortcut
keys? A lot of the old ones don't work any longer.

You can add the AutoText command to the Quick Access Toolbar. Alternatively,
manually insert the { FILENAME \p } field into the header or footer. Press
Ctrl+F9 to add the field delimiters, { }. Use F9 to update. To show/hide
field codes, use Alt+F9.

Press Ctrl+P to display the Print dialog box.

Who, pray tell thought this up? And where are the shortcut
keys? A lot of the old ones don't work any longer.

Most shortcut keys are the same; you can even use the old accelerator keys
from the old menu system. For example, you can press Alt, T, O to display the
Word Options dialog box.

And you can assign custom keyboard shortcuts via Office button | Word
Options, Customize. Click the Customize button to show the Customize Keyboard
dialog box.
