Default "File name and path" missing from AutoText menu under "Insert"

I must have somehow deleted the option "file name and path" from my AutoText
menu, which I was using to insert the full file name in most of my documents.
"Filename" is still there, but there was a separate entry for filename that
included the path. I've spent several hours trying to figure out how to add
it back in, using all the Microsoft help options I could find, but no luck. I
would be very grateful for info on how to do this. I have Word 2002 with
Windows XP operating system. Thanks so much! GinnyR

Default

The autotext entry merely inserts a {filename/p} field, so you could insert
it manually and save it as an autotext
OR
you could rename normal.dot to oldnormal.dot and use the Organizer to copy
your personalisations from old to new (which will now have all the default
autotexts).
