File path in Vista Word

[dcurrier]

I want to include the file path in a footer in Vista Word - but cannot find
it. Was able to do it in Excel - but not Word.

There is no such thing as Vista Word! Vista is an operating system that will
run any Word version.
Assuming you mean Word 2007, insert a filename field in the footer.
Insert > Document Parts > Field > Filename
or
Save the inserted field as an autotext entry
or
Use a macro to insert the filename

Sub InsertFilenameInFooter()
Dim sFileName As String
With ActiveDocument
If Len(.Path) = 0 Then
.Save
End If
sFileName = .FullName
End With
Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdStory
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = _
wdSeekCurrentPageFooter
With Selection
.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = _
wdAlignParagraphRight
.TypeText Text:=sFileName
.EndKey Unit:=wdStory
End With
With ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View
.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument
End With
End Sub
