filename and path field codes in Word 2007

[ollyaitch]

I have a client who wants to use the path to and filename of a word
document as its reference but wants to use part of the file path not
all of it.

so the reference for c:\my documents\folder1\folder2\doc1.doc

should be ..folder1\folder2\doc1.doc

If I use field codes I either get all of the path or none of it. Can
anyone suggest a way to do what my client wants?

Many thanks.

It can't be done with fields. You will need a macro. Something along the
lines of

Sub InsertPartPath()
Dim fPath As String
Dim intPos As Integer
With ActiveDocument
If Len(.Path) = 0 Then
.Save
End If
fPath = .FullName
MsgBox fPath
intPos = InStr(4, fPath, "\")
MsgBox intPos
fPath = ".." & Right(fPath, Len(fPath) - intPos + 1)
MsgBox fPath
End With
End Sub
