Display Word doc's file path in the title bar but doc title only in Word taskbr item?

numov_40 · February 18th, 2011, 11:03 AM

I was able to use the VBA code below to display a Word doc's file path in the title bar.

But as a result the file path is also displayed in the Word Windows 7 taskbar item.

How do I get Word to display only the Word doc title in the Windows 7 taskbar instead of the file path? Can anyone give me Word 2010 VBA code for this? Thanks.

Code:

 Sub AutoOpen()

'Display document name and path in the title bar.
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName

End Sub

Sub FileSaveAs()

'Display document name and path in the title bar.

If Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs).Show = 0 Then Exit Sub
System.Cursor = wdCursorNormal

ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName

End Sub

ActiveDocument.FullName gives the Filename with Path. You can use the following

ActiveDocument.Name to retrieve the filename alone

and

ActiveDocument.Path wlll get you the path of the document alone
