Addendum:
I came around to do some testing. I was unable to include files
using a \\server\share\path syntax. Word complained about an
illegal filename but maybe I just got the backslash escaping
wrong.
Accessing network shares which were mapped to a local drive
name like x:\ posed no problem.

That's all I need to know about these fields. Emailing Word
documents around is bad as usual.
