Full Path of a file name

Using W xp & MS Word 2003. When I have a document open is there any way
that I can see the full path of the file name.
Thanks.

Thanks.

In Windows XP, open Control Panel. Then click Tools, followed by Folder
Options, followed by View. Untick the box marked "Hide extensions for known
file types". Close Control Panel.

Then, start Word. Open the Word document. Click on File, Properties,
General. Provided the path is not too long, full details should now appear.
The file name (at the top of the page) will show the file extension (usually
doc, although Word can also open files with different extensions, including
rtf, txt, htm and xml)

Thanks for the reply.I have gone to Control Panel > Tools > Folder
Options > View. There I Checked Display Full Path in Address Bar and
Checked Display Full Path in Title Bar. I unchecked Hide Extensions
for Known File Types. I then clicked Apply to All Folders and OK. I
then Restarted the computer. Yet when I open a document in Word I do
not see the full path name.
Either I am doing something wrong or I misunderstand your directions.

Nor will you - unless you look in File > Properties > General. Use one of
the other methods if you want to see it from the document window.
