list of the most common tools, with check
marks indicating which tools are already on
the toolbar. Click More Commands to open
the Quick Access Customizing window.
On the left side, click the arrow next to Pop-
ular Commands (1) and choose All Com-
mands. Scroll down the alphabetical list and
click Document Location (2). Then click Add
(3) in the center of the window which moves
Document Location to the Quick Access bar
side, and finish by clicking OK (4). Now
every time you open a document, its path
will be displayed in a box at the right end of
the Quick Access bar. If it isn’t completely
visible, click inside the left end of this box
and drag to the right to see the rest of the
path.
This view shows a Quick Access bar which
includes the Document Location (file path)
box.
Once you add Document Location to the
Quick Access toolbar, the path for any doc-
ument will display there automatically when
the document is active. The advantage is
9
you don’t need to put the path into the docu-
ment at all. The disadvantage is that you will
not have the file path to refer to when the doc-
ument is printed. You can decide what meth-
od works best for you.
The two methods, by the way, are updates
from an earlier method of adding a File Path.
Putting a file path in a footer could only be
done by adding a field from the Quick Parts
menu (Insert tab – Quick Parts -- Field), click-
ing Filename from the list, and checking a box
to add the path. The path would then appear
in all documents where you put the field, most
often in the footer. That method is still availa-
ble in all recent versions of Word, even ver-
sion 2016. The process of customizing the
Quick Access bar has not changed in Win-
dows 8 or 10, either.
I add file paths to footers of important docu-
ments that I don’t need to open often. I print
one copy of these so I know exactly where to
find them by checking the footer. If I want to
print one of these documents for distribution, I
delete the footer, knowing how easy it is to
add it back later.

card. You can access the data through your
laptop, but there is also an app available that
allows a few other controls.
Light Frequency switches from 60 Hz to 50
Hz to eliminate flickering that may be present
when taking movies in artificial light.
Timestamp whether or not to be included
in stills and movies and to be displayed when
viewing same.
Cycle Recording records over existing
movie files to save storage.
Date & Time to set the date and time to
whatever you want.
Sync with Computer so the time and date
are whatever your laptop or computer has at
the time the still or movie is taken.
