Anyone know why the filename and path field in footers shows the sharename not drive letter on some machines but not others

on one machine I see I:\chuck/docname.doc and on another I see \\data1\chuck$\docname.doc
 
Hi Chuck

You'll see the sharename unless the user has mapped the network drive

Intersting. Maybe something different in how drives mapped? Offline vs.
online. Try disconnecting and re-mapping?

I don't see any setting in Word which controls this. Due to some
"signal" between the OS and Word, I guess.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.
