I find especially useful the Copy Internet Path (in spite of the bad
designation).
It saves the network path for a file (or group of
files)...file://servername\folder\filename.

Thanks to all for the DOS memories! :) That will certainly do the trick.
Personally, though, I'd select all the desired folders in Windows
Explorer, use Path Copy, and paste into the Office application. If you
needed to flatten the view to capture sub-folder content, too, I'd use
xplorer2 -- which is much better than Windows Explorer, anyway.
I read your concern about installing applications, but Path Copy does
not have a typical MSI or EXE installer, and might not present the
hurdles other programs would.
Xplorer2, of course, whether using the freeware or paid version, is
something you would probably have to clear with your IT. It's immensely
useful, however. For details, see: www.zabkat.com.
