Default Word 2007 Field Update

Hi mike_c,

How can I get them to auto-update (Ctrl+SHIFT+F11 does nothing)

Ctrl+SHIFT+F11 isn't supposed to update fields. That's what F9 is for. To update all fields you can do a Print Preview or Ctrl-A
followed by F9 (though the latter will only update fields in the body of the document).

I believe fields are supposed to update on opening by default, but mine never
dop. I can only update manually in the body of text or a header/footer. How
