I can't get filename to show on footer. I've renamed normal.dot then
restarted work and still receive same problem - from dropdown autotext menu
select "filename" and all that shows is the word filename. I'm using word
2003

Have your toggled the field code to display results instead of text
(ALT+F9)?

Yes...it works for the other settings like Page# (i.e. flips the diplay to
either the actual # or displays "PAGE" but filename stays the same.

Could your autotext entry be corrupt? What happen if you press Ctrl+F9 to
create a new pair of field braces, type in filename, right click, update
field, toggle field code?

If that works then you should redefine your AutoText entry.

Marvelous! I've redefined my AutoText entry. Problem solved! Thank you!
