I used to sell WP, and this is my dealer copy, c1990. It has always shown the full path, but I was wondering if it's a W7 thing. I guess installing Word 2010 again would be a test...erm, no it wouldn't. File selection is a bit sophisticated in that. Can't remember what Open Office is like.
The bad thing about not seeing the path right away is that it has to be selected to see it up top. That means a backup or the like, will be brought to the fore on the list.
Pushing 60 X 30page chapters about - all with 4 backups, can be tricky. One mistake and it's a chapter printout and word by word check.
Douglas Adams had rows of screens with staff/students doing the editing. I have to put a load of shelves up to get the Rivetess to read one chapter.
