Have a Word Macro Detect Your Thumb Drive

I keep all my word files on a 8 gb USB jumb drive so that I can take them from one computer to another. I have all my templates and custom macros in one directory. I have a macro to attach the template to the documents.

The problem is the drive letter changes as I move the USB drive from computer to computer. Then I get an error and I have to use debug to change the drive letter at the start of each session. Is there any way to make the macro look for the template taking into consideration that the drive letter may change.

Thank you,
Larenzo

Displaying the Following Year in a Word Document

Category is Microsoft Office

Hi,

I have a word document that is a membership renewal form that is sent out once a year...

I want to place a date (Year only) field on the form that displays the year that the form refers to ... eg the form is sent out towards end of 2008 for the 2009 calender year so I want to display 2009 then 2010 at end of 2009....etc

As I am currently doing this I want to automate the form so as anyone who sends them out in future does not have to remember to update for each year (as has been missed in past)

I have had a look at date field options but can not find a way of doing it.

Any help gratefully accepted.....

Cheers,
John

Adding the file path to a Word 2007 Document

Category is Microsoft Office

I'm pretty new to Word 2007 and am trying to put a document path on the bottom of each document (footer perhaps). This is so I can find where the document is filed. I have been exploring the Text, Quick "Picks," Category and Fields, but, so far, cannot figure it out. Help!

Thank you in advance!
Joy
