You need a simple macro:

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
End Sub

See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if you don't know how to use
it.

As an alternative to the other excellent solutions, I prefer to have the
Address bar mounted on my Menu bar. If you right-click on and tool bar and
select Customize, select Web under Categories and the first command is the
Address button. Drag and drop it onto your Menu Bar in the empty space to
the right of the Help menu. Now hover the mouse over the right hand end of
the box until the cursor changes to a cross and drag the address box out to
fill the available space until level with the left edge of the Minimise
button. Now close the Customize dialog.

The address bar will now display the full name and path of the active
document.
