In Excel 2003 there used to be a command that I added to my toolbar that was called Address (if I remember correctly) and it would show the fully-qualified network path to the file I had open. For example: \\ads\IT-DEPT-DFS\data\Users\someguy\somefile.xls
This made it easy to grab this string and pop it in an email when you wanted to share the file with a coworker. I don't see this option in Excel 2010 but find myself needing to send/receive Excel files a lot now. Coworkers will give vague references to "it is on the share drive" or email the file as an attachment (ugh!).
Anyone know if something comparable exists in Excel 2010?
UPDATE: I found this mapping of Excel 2003 to 2007 commands. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/redir/AM010186429.aspx?CTT=5&origin=HA010086048
Web>Address is what I was using - looks like that became "Document Location" in 2007. But they removed/obfuscated this again in 2010. I am trying to find a mapping like this for 2007 to 2010.
Right click on the ribbon and choose Customize the ribbon
. From the Choose commands from:
drop down, select Commands not in the ribbon
.
That is where I found the Document location
command.
I found a way to display the Document Location module
in Office 2010.
File -> Options -> Quick Access Toolbar
From the
Choose commands
list
select All Commands
find "Document Location"
press the "Add>>"
button.
press OK
.
Viola, the file path is at the top of your 2010 office document.
