I know how to add the file name and path to a header or
footer.

How do I get the path to display the FULL path (UNC)? If
I have a mapped drive, it just displays the mapped drive
letter rather than the UNC. Is there a way to choose one
display method over another?

example:

Mapped Drive path: J:\Project\Documents\Test.doc
UNC path: \\Server\Dept\ABC\Project\Documents\Test.doc

Past versions of Word seem to facilitate between the UNC
or the Mapped Drive when displaying the path in the
Header/Footer.

Derek,

Include the /p switch in the field code. This switch
inserts the full path...e.g.,

{FileName /p}
