How do I show where a file is located?

[energysaver]

I'd like to display a file path for a document so someone else can find it
again. How can I display it in a footer?

Insert the FILENAME field; you can use the Field dialog box for this
purpose. To display the dialog box:

- Click Insert | Field (Word 2003).

- Click Insert tab | Quick Parts | Field (Word 2007).

Hi,

To display the full path of the file and not just the file name, you will
need to add the \p switch to the FILENAME field. You can create the complete
field code through the UI or in the following way.
1. Type FILENAME \p
2. Select what you just typed.
3. Press Ctrl+F9 to add the special curly brackets.
4. Press F9 to update the field and display the result.

Indeed, sometimes it is easier to work with the field code(s) directly.
