Displaying Path Names in the Menu Bar

There is a way to display a full path name on Word's menu bar:

1. Right-click anywhere on a toolbar. This displays a Context menu for the toolbars.
2. Choose Customize from the Context menu. This displays the Customize dialog box.
3. Click on the Commands tab.
4. In the Categories list, choose Web.
5. Drag the Address command (the first one in the command list) to the right of the Help menu on the menu bar. This action positions the Address drop-down list at the end of the menu bar.
6. Click on Close.

Normally, the Address drop-down list is used if you are working with the Internet-aware side of Word. However, when you are working with plain old documents, the control shows the current path and document name of the document that is currently active.
