Default Master Directory with dynamic field question???

Hello all, is it possible to have a file path either in the footer of the document or the back-office information for the document which auto updates itself into a master Directory file that can act as like a contents directory?

The idea is to have a master contents directory file in a shared drive that people can see and click hyperlinks to open the required documents based on field lookup etc?



Unsure if I explained this well enough but happy to answer questions!

No, that is not possible. However, for an idea of what's possible from the other end, see: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...ing-files.html
