Can footers be set up as a default giving the file name/location

[Rinn]

Is it possible to set up Word documents so that the file name always appears
at the bottom by defualt unless diliberately omitted.

Yes, but do NOT do this in Normal.dot; do it in a specific document
template. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/CustomizeNormalTemplate.htm and
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm. Use the "Filename" or
"Filename and path" entry on the AutoText menu on the Header and Footer
toolbar.
