You cannot use parts of fields to derive information. What you can do is
insert the information with a macro.

Sub InsertfNameAndPath()
Dim pPathname As String
With ActiveDocument
If Len(.Path) = 0 Then
.Save
End If
If Right(.name, 1) = "x" Then
pPathname = Left$(.FullName, (Len(.FullName) - 5))
Else
pPathname = Left$(.FullName, (Len(.FullName) - 4))
End If
End With
Selection.TypeText pPathname
End Sub

or if you only want the filename and not the path, change each occurrence of
.FullName to .Name
