Anyway to get just the path without the filename?

[Sesquipedalian Sam]

I can use the Filename field with the \p switch to get the filename
including the path ({FILENAME \p }).

Is there any way to get just the path without the filename?

I'm curious: What good is the path without a file name?

I want to display them separately -- either on separate lines or in
separate columns of a table.

I am sure you cannot. The \p is a 'field specific' switch (i.e. it only
works with FILENAME).

Not with fields, but it is simple enough to achieve with a macro

Sub InsertPath()
With ActiveDocument
If Len(.Path) = 0 Then .Save
Selection.TypeText .Path & "\"
End With
End Sub
