Application.Path Property (Word)
Returns the disk or Web path to the specified object. Read-only String.
Syntax
expression .Path
expression A variable that represents an Application object.
Remarks
The path doesn't include a trailing character — for example, "C:\MSOffice" or "http://MyServer". Use the PathSeparator property to add the character that separates folders and drive letters. Use the Name property of the Document object to return the file name without the path and use the FullName property to return the file name and the path together.
Note
You can use the PathSeparator property to build Web addresses even though they contain forward slashes (/) and the PathSeparator property defaults to a backslash (\).
