How do I display the file path in a Visio header or footer?

I've added it by drawing a text block on the page, then choose Insert, Field
from the menu. In the resulting dialog box, choose Document Info as the
Category, and then click on Directory in the Field picker. Finally, choose
your format.
Hope this helps,
Amanda

Follow Amanda's example, but place it on a background page and attach the
backgroupd page to all the foreground pages. The background pages are far
more versatile than H&Fs.
