Paul, In a word, yes. First you need to create the footer. Click VIEW -- HEADERS AND FOOTERS click the button to switch to the footer. Now create the code to insert the filename Click INSERT -- FIELD... On the left side, select DOCUMENT INFORMATION On the right side, click FILENAME in the text box at the bottom you can add a slash-P ( /P ) if you want the path included with the name. Lastly, save this as your normal template. Click FILE -- SAVE AS change the FILES OF TYPE to TEMPLATES then save the file as C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\NORMAL.DOT (or whatever your path is to the office folder). NORMAL.DOT is the collection of commands that Word automatically performs each time you create a new document, so.... you can change the font, change the point size, change the text color, add a watermark, --- almost anything you want, within the NORMAL.DOT file and Word will always recreate those items (at least until you change the template again) Jim Meagher ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Tiwana" <[log in to unmask]> > Hi friends, > Is there a command or provision In MS Word to print the file name in the > footer of the document, not for one file , but the feature stays there as > default for all the files till I decide to print files without file names ? > Thanx PCSOFT's List Owner's: Bob Wright<[log in to unmask]> Drew Dunn<[log in to unmask]>
