How can I automatically paste filename Word 2007

S

Soeren

I would like to paste (insert) the filename in the footer or a margin. Is it
possible and where can I find the official help text? Thank you.

Hi Soeren,

Perhaps the quickest way is to:
.. select the position where you want the filename to appear
.. press Ctrl-F9 to create an empty field
.. type 'FILENAME' between the field braces, thus '{FILENAME}'
.. press F9 to update.

If you want to include the path, type 'FILENAME \p' between the field braces, thus '{FILENAME \p}'

Hi macropod

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately I could not make it work. FILENAME in
the field would not change to the actual filename. I must have done something
wrong. But I found a solution here

That works.
