Update multiple links in different sections by selecting the F9 ke
Hi Guys,
I have a rather larhe document that requires updating several differnet links (setup via the File|Properties) and when these links are selected and updated only the currently selected section is updated. I have tried selecting the whole document via CTRL A and selecting the F9 key but that only updates the current section that has been highlighted and does not update the links that are in different sections. The different sections are set up via inputting section breaks. It would be nice to know how to automatically update all the links in the different sections as I have about 6 different sections all up and rather than going through the whole document it would be nice to update all links in just one sweep!! Please help me guys, its quite frustrating !! Cheers, Ian |

Update multiple links in different sections by selecting the F9 ke
Ctrl+A should select all 6 Sections of the document so that when you press
F9 all of the links should be updated. I must admit however, I do not know what you mean by the links being "setup via the File|Properties". -- Hope this helps.

Yes Doug I have already tried using the CTRL A to select the whole document
but this does not seem to select all the sections in the header and footer (all the 6 different sections). The sections in the header and footer must be selected seperatly and then updated.

To update all fields, including those in headers and footers, use the
example macro presented at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Ian Shaw" wrote in message ...

Update multiple links in different sections by selecting the F
Would you believe that one of my friends told a much easier way to update
fields/links etc including those in headers and footers by the following method: Goto View|and select Normal Layout select all and then depress F9 Reselect the Print layout and then have a guess what!! It is actually updated, including the headers and footers!! No requirement for the macro!! Cheers P.S - I thought you may be interested!!

Update multiple links in different sections by selecting the F
The reason that works is that all fields in the header and footer are
updated when the document is repaginated (see €śWD97: Fields Updated When Document Repaginated€ť at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=89953), and it is repaginated every time you switch from Normal to Print Layout view. -- Suzanne S.

And to clarify further: not all fields are updated when the document is
repaginated, but the macro does update all fields. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

You can also just use PrintPreview and then close it.
