Update Field for Textboxes
I have page numbers inserted in textboxes - { PAGE \* Arabic} - for my
landscape pages. When I select the entire document and select "Update Field," the pages in the textboxes do not update. I can manually open the textbox and then select "Update Field," but I have a lot of landscape pages. How do I update EVERYTHING including textboxes? Thank you |

Update Field for Textboxes
Instead of using text boxes, you might want to use frames, which are in the
text layer. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Biocellguy" wrote in message ...

Update Field for Textboxes
Note that switching to Print Preview and back should update the PAGE fields
in the text boxes. If the text boxes also contain fields that do not update on Print Preview you can force an update by using the macro available at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm. However, as Suzanne suggested, using frames would be easier. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Biocellguy" wrote in message ...
