Hi, Malcolm. File >Properties : General, which you've already
discovered, is it. It gives you all the information, just separated
into path and file name.
There is a macro routine that will give you the full path and filename
combined. You could put this in your "Standard" library in "My Macros
and Dialogs" and assign it to a toolbar icon, keyboard shortcut or menu
shortcut:
Sub DocLocation
Msgbox ThisComponent.getLocation 'gets full path and file name
'Msgbox ThisComponent.getUrl 'this gets the url which is the same as
location on a Linux OS
End Sub
The second line (with leading apostrophe) gets the same information on a
Linux OS. On Windows, the result may be different. If you want to run
the second line, remove the leading apostrophe.

Hello team,
Running OOo version 2. In MS Word I was always able to tell where
the home address of a file was when it was on the desktop by going to
File >
Properties > General and clicking on 'Location' and seeing the
pathway to
its location by cllicking on the path and scrolling left or right to
see it in its
entirety. In OOo it doesn't allow me to select but gives only the
start and the
finish. Can you tell me how to find a file location in OOo when
it's on the
desktop?
