I can’t believe this isn’t an option, but neither the help files nor google nor my own meandering through options has made this a possibility.
What the heck? Anyone know?
Yes, it’s because Word is by Micro$not. 
I use Adobe Framemaker (it’s for long, multi-chapter documents), and it does indeed display the full path in the title bar. It can come in quite handy.
- s.e.
One work-around is to turn on the “Web” toolbar, then drag the URL box to somewhere empty.
Darren, great. Works well enough. Still, I can’t believe this isn’t an option! Incredible.
You can add a macro that will do it.
Yeah, but that Macro only seems to work on documents created, not documents passed around an office or through email to/from clients etc.
Such a simple thing, but I am really disappointed.
?? I’m not sure how you can pass a soft-copy document around an office or through email w/o it having been created.
But, another option on a Saved file to see the full path is to go to File | Properties | General tab, and the full path can be seen there.
