macro in word 2007 judith.finlay[ at ]thebindingsite.com 12/29/2008 6:50:00 PM Folks, I am trying to set up a simple macro in word 2007 to put the filename and page x of y in the footer of each page. So far my attempts always result in errors. I do not want to make a form or template because other send me documents that I would like to perform this action on as well. Please advise. Sincerely, Judith

Re: macro in word 2007 "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 12/29/2008 11:22:46 PM Still no macro needed. Save the FILENAME field and Page X of Y as AutoText entries (building blocks). Assign them keyboard shortcuts if desired. -- Suzanne S.

The search results should include a template for "Building Blocks for inserting file name and path". Download it and follow the instructions to copy the building blocks in the template to your Building Blocks template so they can be used in any document. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs Guides for the Office 2007 Interface: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/training/HA102295841033.aspx
