MS Office Word: Insert file path
In this practical tip we will show you how to insert the file path of the current document in Word.
Word: Insert file path
You can only automatically insert the file path in Word into the header or footer. The command is {FILENAME \ p \ * MERGEFORMAT}. Alternatively, you can follow the instructions below. If you do not want to insert the file path in the header or footer, simply copy the command to the desired location.
- Save the file and go to the "Insert" tab above.
- Click on the "Header" or "Footer" item under the "Header and footer" category.
- Select the option "Edit header" or "Edit footer". The selection options then change at the top of the menu.
- Under the "Insert" category, click the "Document info" button.
- If you select the "File path" option, the command is inserted.
- Note: If you don't see the file path directly but the command above, you don't have to worry about this. The command is then converted to the file name in the print view or on the printed document.
