Hi Kim – to add to the Quick Access toolbar, click the small down arrow just to the right of it and choose More Commands. It open with a list of Popular Commands; if AutoText isn’t there change that to All Commands. Select the features you want, then click Add (or double-click) to send them to the toolbar.
The AutoText should list everything you have saved.
Hope that helps.

Twocomputers wirelessly networked at home. Trying to synchronize settings so both have same features. Word 2007 on one computer somehow managed to add to Quick Access Toolbar an AutoText icon which inserts my file & pathname. Would like to do same on other computer but cannot remember how I did it and cannot find through numerous how-to searches. Help?

What a pain Word 2007 is for displaying your file/path on a saved document. Too much- i miss the easy two step method… It does amaze me how Microsoft makes changes and we their “customer” have no say in any of it!!!

Step 9 is really just one of the drop-downs in the step 8 popup “Create New Building Block”. Thank you so much for such a useful process for someething I value – being able to look up the location of a file I’ve created! These days files could be on a network, in the cloud, or on your own PC. Locating it is so helpful with the filename and path info.

Thank you for the very complete and accurate information. So often the info you need is so hard to find. I am sure you have tried the F1 for help in Word, and it’s unbelievable all the unrelated garbage they thrown at you, sometime not remotely related to your search.

The filename and path are updated automatically when you print the document. If you don’t want a printout, do a print preview instead and it updates itself.

Thank you so much. I couldn’t find a solution in the so called ‘Help’ section of Word. Amen to all the others who have critized this backward improvement.
