Is there a way I can configure MS Word to automatically insert a footer on every new document? Like, for example, the document's filepath?
Open a blank document. Get into the footer. On the header/footer toolbar, select Insert AutoText > Filename (or whatever). Save the file as a template (.dot) in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\[your PC name or login]\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates When you open a new Word doc, select that template.
