How do I enter the path and file name on every word 2000 document.

[Scruffy]

I need to have the path and file name at the bottom of every Word 2000
document I create. I figured out how to create a Macro in Excel to do this
but it is not working in Word 2000.

On the Header/Footer toolbar you should have a dropdown menu labeled
Autotext. There should be an Autotext entry for Filename and Path. You can
also insert this using Insert>Field and the FileName field. You'll need to
set the option to display the path as well.

But DO NOT do this in Normal.dot, which would be the way to have it on every
new document. Instead, create a custom template. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/CustomizeNormalTemplate.htm and
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/CreateATemplatePart1.htm

You can use a macro in Word also

Sub InsertFileNameAndPath()
Dim fname As String
If ActiveDocument.Saved = False Then ActiveDocument.Save
fname = Selection.Document.FullName
Selection.TypeText fname
End Sub
