MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / November 2006Document name in titlebar, step by step
I want to put the path and document name in Word 2003 in the title bar, and found the following posting from a couple of years back. However, it is a bit too cryptic for me, since i don't use VBA at all. Can someone please take the info below and tell me step by step how i would do this? I would like to set up a macro to do this automatically, so if that could be explained, that would be great. Many thanks "Switch to VBA and in the immediate window type: windows(activedocument.Name).Caption = activedocument.FullName You could set up a macro to do this automatically, but I suggest you try it manually for a while. On most machines these days, the full path is so long that the result will be ugly." Step 1. Put that line of code into a macro. Step 2. Run the macro. You've got two problems: 1) as suggested in the original post, the path may be longer than than your Window is wide. 2) You need to re-run the macro every time you change documents. It's possible to set up your macro to do this automatically, but if you "don't use VBA at all", writing code to trap Word events is likely to be beyond you. It's not that it's all that hard; but explaining it "step by step" would take quite a lot of writing. >I want to put the path and document name in Word 2003 in the title bar, > and found the following posting from a couple of years back.

I have a wide monitor, so i don't believe the full path will be a problem. Having said that, is it possible to change the font in the titlebar (and only the titlebar), to something such as Arial Narrow? >> Step 1.

Right-click on the Windows desktop, select properties. On the Appearance tab, click Advanced.
