But for some reason, the macro opened a new file and printed its name.  So I eliminated one line of the macro, something about new document, and now it works fine.   Thanks for a great idea.

In Word 2007 the easiest way is to use the template to add a building block for inserting the path and file names from Microsoft at http://tinyurl.com/cvqj3x . Brad,

While you can create a custom toolbar relatively easily, creating custom buttons requires using XML and some programming code.
