How do I automatically update fields in a header/footer?
I just got upgraded to Word 2003 at work. I have a standard document that I
use with fields in the headers and footers. In Word 2000, to update all the headers and footers, I could just SaveClose and Reopen and they would all be udpated. It seems in 2003 this is not the case. I've looked at the Help and the only thing I can find is an option to automatically update all fields prior to printing. I don't always want to print to update my fields though. Any thoughts on how I can do this without having to click thru each footer in each section and hitting F9?? |

Duh, Print Preview ... Why didn't I think of that?! Thanks Greg. Your
documentation was very helpful. I plan on accessing it FIRST before I have any other Word questions. Thank you!
