Filename change automatically in footer when document is resaved
When I resave my document, I want the new filenmame to appear automatically
in the footer of the document. How do I do that? I know it can be done. I've seen it in other documents. Mary55 |

You need to insert a FILENAME field in the Footer - how you'd go about it
depends on which version of Word. In 2007 see: http://office.microsoft.com/client/h...A101004261033& QueryID=rB_DeYREQ0&respos=3&rt=2&ns=WINWORD&lcid=1 033&pid=CH100992711033 [If the link is broken go to Help & search the topic: Insert a field] In prior versions use Insert Field Document Information - FileName.

However it will not update *automatically* if you change the document name.
You would have to update the field by one of a variety of methods eg switching to print preview. The simplest solution is to have an update macro on the toolbar - use the code at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org CyberTaz wrote: You need to insert a FILENAME field in the Footer - how you'd go about it depends on which version of Word.

Thanks Graham - oversight on my part. Should have mentioned that!
