On any doc, you of course use save as and give it a name and source folder etc etc. Of course the file name you give it is the main ref and way of finding it later. I find it alot easier to actually print the file name on the bottom of the first page ( or every page ) makes it easy to locate it later. Question, computers being or so clever why can't it automatically put this file name on the bottom of the page? Or can it ? Or does nobody think that would be useful? bruciebear (1478)

View-Headers and Footers - select footer

Insert - Field

Select the options you want and bingo, you have the filename in the footer of the document.

This is typical for any company using Quality Control systems such as ISO9000, to require this.

Select Start-Find-Files or folders and enter normal.dot to find this file. Now right click and select Open. If you double click you will just open a new word doc rather than the template.

Now amend the template to your liking. Change the font, add the footer etc or anything else you would like. Close and save and its all done.

something like

name.doc
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xx
