Word isn't very systematic on when and whether fields are updated - for
header and footer fields the quickest way to get everything to update is to
go in into Print Preview and come back to Layout or Normal view.

In Word 2002, I have auto text fields that are not updating (e.g., in the
footer, I use the file name, which does not update when I re-save files
with
new names). How can I fix this problem? Thanks for any help!
