A string representing the path, without file name, for the directory containing the document.

The returned path does not include the file name or extension. For example, if the document location is C:\MsDev\Projects\MyProject\stdafx.cpp, then Path returns the string, C:\MsDev\Projects\MyProject. There is no ending backslash unless the path is the root of a device, such as C:\.
