auto update field
Hi,
Is anyone out there know how to update a field (cell) automatically. I'd created a simple formula for the field. How do I get this field to update automatically without having literally select the field and choose update field. Thanks!! |

Shaolin,
Unless you are using a protected form with "calculate on exit" set in your field setup dialog then updating fields automatically is not possible in Word. When a change is made, you can update the field by selecting the field and pressing F9, or update all fields by pressing CTRL+a (selects all) and pressing F9, toggling to and from print preview (if "Update Fields" is checked in the FilePrintOptions dialog box), or running a macro something like: Sub UpdateFields() Dim oStory As Range For Each oStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges oStory.Fields.Update If oStory.StoryType wdMainTextStory Then While Not (oStory.NextStoryRange Is Nothing) Set oStory = oStory.NextStoryRange oStory.Fields.Update Wend End If Next oStory Set oStory = Nothing End Sub -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP A Peer in Peer to Peer Support Shaolin wrote: Hi, Is anyone out there know how to update a field (cell) automatically.
