please help me
Hello,
I use Apache Open Office and would like to insert the file/path into the document so I know where it is next time. I’ve tried going to insert, fields, other, file name (type), path/file name (format) and insert. When I do this I don’t get the path and file name – all I get is “path/file name” added but that’s not what I need. How do I add the proper file name of my document that I just typed?
Thanks so much.

I agree. I thought of buying a car, but discovered that one has to
take driving lessons and pass a test and learn all about licences and
insurance, so I gave up. And I was tempted to invest in a piano, but
again it seems I would have to take lessons in order to be able to play it ...

Good: we agree on that. But I espouse learning.

I must confess, I am spoiled as a very long term Apple Mac user and if I
cannot figure out how to use an application without looking for a user's
guide or manual I tend to walk away from the application and try another.
Having said that, I love this application suite much better than MS Office.
Okay, so it does not have some items we have become used to in their suite
of apps, but no biggie as far as I can tell.
Thanks again for such a great apps.

OK, the good news is that you learn from your mistakes, now you have to
learn that hijacking someone else message is a bad habit.
If you want help start a new email which makes it easier to archive by
subject and by the way" please help me" is not a descriptive subject.

For a computer a document can be anything e.g. a Word document, a
Drawing, a Spreadsheet or a Photo.
The computer rely on the users to define the type of document e.g. .doc,
.odt, .pdf or .jpg
Most applications saves with the correct file type, but allow to change
it by the user.

I just learned by trial and error that what I have saved is considered a "picture" and not a document. Could you be searching for a document that the computer deemed a "picture"?

Hello,
I use Apache Open Office and would like to insert the file/path into the document so I know where it is next time. I’ve tried going to insert, fields, other, file name (type), path/file name (format) and insert. When I do this I don’t get the path and file name – all I get is “path/file name” added but that’s not what I need. How do I add the proper file name of my document that I just typed?
Thanks so much.
