Adding the filename and path in the footer to a large group of fil

[Andrea]

Is there a way to create a "office macro" that will take a bunch of Word
Documents and place the filename and path in the footer. I could create a
global macro in word, but would still need to open each document to apply the
macro.

Any ideas?

On the following page you will find code to do a Find/Replace in all files
in afolder.

Just remove the code about finding/replacing, and insert your code about
modifying the footer instead...
