I am trying to insert the path and file name in the footer (I am in Design mode) under Quick Parts, but the Document Property is greyed out and I can't access it.
No implementation of Pages is a Word clone, and does not use field variables for additional insert menu items. LibreOffice Writer offers field codes because it is designed as a Word replacement. In Pages '09, inserted document dates will auto-update each time that the document is opened. In any release of Pages v5, dates do not auto-update. You would have to click the date in the document, and then select Set to Today.
An alternative would be to disable the footer, and replace it with a one-row table using the now function in a table cell. This function automatically updates the date each time the document is opened. You may find it difficult to eliminate the gap that results from right-aligning a filename in one cell, and left-align now in an adjacent cell, then merge both cells.
