Default How to insert Wildcards into Word 2011 Mac such as: \$Filename\

Hello MS Word Experts

I would like to insert Wildcards into my Word 2011 (Mac) Documents.

Principally I’d like to be able to put the Filename into the Document, but i imagine (i use wildcards another program and find it very useful) other wildcards could also be useful (time/date stamp).

Does this feature exist? I looked it up on the web and only found wildcards described in conjunction with: “find or replace text”. Incase anyone is unsure of what i’m specifically asking about. In at least one other program (Sibelius 7, a music notation program) one can insert aliases such as the one listed below, which are then automatically changed for the description that they are referring to. This is useful if one is creating documents where the Filename is continuously changing and one doesn’t want to go to the bother of changing that aspect of the text in the document. This can be especially tedious if the document is 100 pages long and you have this element as a footnote on each page.

\$Filename\

I would venture to guess that such an important word-processing program has to have this same feature, but i can’t find it. And..i have tried putting in a wildcard - to no avail.

Any ideas? Many many many thanks for any tips and your time as well!

Peter
