I've tried finding the answer by searching within the forums, but haven't found anything. My terminology may be off, but hopefully someone will recognize what I'm trying to do and give me a hand.

In Nisus Writer Classic, I used to create project specific document manager documents by getting the file location name of the associated documents and inserting them into a new document. What I'm calling a "file location name" is list folders and subfolders identifying where your document is located. This "file location name" would look something like this:

"Hard Drive:Documents:Current Projects:Novel:Chapter 1."

There was a way, though I can't remember the steps now, of getting this "file location name" within Nisus Writer and pasting it directly into the document. I can't find any reference to this method in Nisus Writer Express.

I can get this "file location name" other ways, by figuring it out manually, or opening the file in question with my web browser and copying the name from the URL window, but these methods are somewhat cumbersome.

Any suggestions in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like you are after the file path of the document. In NWX there is a Perl macro called "Paste Path" that is supposed to give you this info. Unfortunately it's broken in NWX 2.6.1 and earlier, it returns nothing for the path. It's supposed to be fixed in NWX 2.7 I believe but as I've not yet installed that version I can't verify that.

Yes, Dshan is right. 2.7 (current version SP7) has the "Paste Path" macro, and it works.
