Update Auto Text (file name & path)
I would expect the AutoText File Name & Path in a Footer to update when I do
a "Save As" but it doesn't. Am I wrong to expect that? It doesn't update even if I close the document & re-open it. It does update if I close Word & then re-open it. Thanks in advance... Frank |

Go into the header or footer area and press the F9 key. Does that solve your
problem? -- Rae Drysdale "Frank" wrote: I would expect the AutoText File Name & Path in a Footer to update when I do a "Save As" but it doesn't. Am I wrong to expect that?

Yes it does, Thank you!
Question tho...What did I just do by doing that? Is there a corresponding menu command? Thanks! "Rae Drysdale" wrote: Go into the header or footer area and press the F9 key.

Update fields. No menu command except you can update all fields in a document
each time you print it. Click Options on the Tools menu, click the Print tab, and then select the Update fields check box. -- Rae Drysdale "Frank" wrote: Yes it does, Thank you!

You can make the menu command by adding the sample macro at
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm to a toolbar button. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Rae Drysdale wrote: Update fields.
