Auto Update Date Field
I have a date field in a word document that was created with Word 2000. If I
open it in Word 2000 the date updates automatically. If I open it up in Word 2003, the date field does not update. If I go into the options and check the box next to update before printing, I can get it to update that way. How can I have it update automatically in Word 2003. I will still have a mixed set of Office licenses, so any solution that I have will have to work with both. Thanks in advance for any help!!!!! -- Phil |

Auto Update Date Field
The update behavior on document open has changed between Word
versions. You'd have to force an update by using a macro. There is an example in the following article by Graham Mayor: http://gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm See also: Which fields are updated when you open, repaginate, or print document http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211629/en-us -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Phil G." wrote in message ...
