How can I change the document template so a full file pathway app.

I want to set up all word & excel documents so the filepath automatically
appears in the footer of all new documents.

I think it's something to do with the document templates but I can only
change it so the document says "document template" in the footer, it doesn't
automatically update for new documents & their filepaths when I save them.

know how to set it up in each document one by one in the footer but I'm
sure there is a way of changing the document template so it adds itself
automatically...

You can indeed add the { FILENAME \p } field to the footer of the document
template, using the "Filename and path" AutoText entry. The template will
always show its own path, and new documents will not update automatically,
but when you explicitly update the field, or when you print or Print
Preview, the field will be updated.
