Why does the filepath not update in document in Word 2007
Do you mean in a filename field? Most fields do not update automatically.
You can force an update using a macro or by switching to print preview and back again, or by selecting the field and pressing F9. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org lizzys wrote: We have recently moved to Word 2007 and where our filepath would update on the old version of Word it now does not work.

Why does the filepath not update in document in Word 2007
Yes I did mean the filename field. We have just converted from Word 2003
and the filepath used to update on printing. We are using the same templates and it no longer works. It does however work for 1 user but not the rest of us. I know you can update fields using F9 but the filename is in a footer & I've tried to update field during writing a print macro but unfortuantely it will not let you into the footer.

The macro I use to update fields is the example macro at
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm which also instructs how to install and apply it. However to update fields on printing/print preview you will need to set the option in Word Options Display - Update fields before printing. Word options - if you have not yet found them - are behind the 'pizza' button top left of the Word screen. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org lizzys wrote: Yes I did mean the filename field.
