Update Fields in Footnotes
Word 2003
I have the following two sets of code but neither updates fields that are placed in my footnotes. What code do I need to get the footnotes updated? Selection.WholeStory Selection.Fields.Update ActiveDocument.Fields.Update -- Debra Ann |

Update Fields in Footnotes
Generally, you can use the macro at
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm to update fields in all stories (headers, footers, text boxes, and so on). However, this does not seem to work (reliably) for fields in footnotes. You may want to ask in a programming newsgroup such as microsoft.public.word.vba.general for assistance with this. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Debra Ann" wrote in message ...

The update macro you refer to should update fields contained in footnote
entries, and does so in my tests here - however it is true that sometimes individual problematic story ranges may have to be addressed separately. If you find that it doesn't update the fields in your document, let me know more about the document and its fields that don't update. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Stefan Blom wrote: Generally, you can use the macro at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm to update fields in all stories (headers, footers, text boxes, and so on).

Thanks for all. It did update the footnote fields from what I tested also.

One more question, is there a way to get it to not have the popup "you cannot
update this command, do you wish to continue?"

Actually, when testing it again, it seems to work as advertised in my test
document. I don't know what went wrong the first time. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...
