    Instead of clicking on quick parts and going to File, just click on Document Info and select File Path from the drop-down options. This is how I have always done it. I wish there was an easier way to have it automatically update the File Path if the document moves locations!

    Now if only MS would add FILEPATH without file name it would be perrrfect !

    Great explanation but such a tedious, time consuming process. Do the developers at Microsoft not think that it would be helpful were there a more streamlined and quicker way of inserting a path at the bottom of a document?

    Hi there,
    Just wandering if you could please tell me if we can add a not-seen-on-printout field for when the document should next be reviewed for updating? For example, email templates saved in a word document could have Next Review and Revision: 05.07.17. Once this revision had been done, the date could be replaced by a new one, one year in advance.
    Thank you in advance,
    Kirsten

    The internal use of the Lange L133.1 manual movement, in order to replica watches
    integrate these features, must overcome several very important problems. One is space, the movement of space is very limited, and the tourbillon and sesame chain is two large, very accounted for swiss replica watches the movement position, the two together may take up the whole movement more than 1/3 of the space, then leave Other components of the space will be very limited, and need to take into account the layout of the disk, Tourbillon placed at 6 o'clock position, and timing disk, calendar display area and the rolex replica tourbillon suffered very close, need to fully consider the tourbillon Space rationality, so the entire internal structure of the display, must be very accurate and careful.

    To avoid any confusion, rather than 'Click Insert / Design', it is 'Click HEADER design tab' (which is a long way to the right). The instruction Click Insert / Design is ambiguous as in word 2013 (or in mine at least) there is a DESIGN tab (near the left) which doesn't have Quick Parts.

    One used to just right click in the footer and select 'add file name and path. Why do they have to fix things that are not broken?
