Adding the file path automatically to all 2003 word footers

[Clunky]

I would like to be able to automatically be able to add the file path and
file name (In the Footer) to all of the 2003 Word Documents that I create
without having to add it manually each time I create a word document.

You can open your normal.dot and add a filepath\filename field in the footer.
Insert Field, choose field "FILENAME", then in switches add the path switch
(/p). Now all docs based on this template will have the path and name of the
file when saved.

Adding Headers or Footers to the normal dot template is not recommended. It
can cause problems when printing labels, causing what should be the last row
of labels on the page to move to the top of the next page.

For anything like this, a separate template should be created.
