Did you try selecting the entire document and updating it that way. Sometime
this helps. "Nikkit72" wrote: When I try F9 or right click and update field, the field doesnt update! Any help??? |

Is the field (or the bookmark to which it refers) in a text box? If so,
change the text box to a frame and try again. If not, use the code at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm attached to a toolbar button to update your fields. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Nikkit72 wrote: When I try F9 or right click and update field, the field doesnt update!

Are you sure that your cross-references are fields? Use Alt+F9 to toggle the
display. If you don't see a REF field, then either the references were inserted as plain text or the fields have been unlinked. It's also possible the fields are locked. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for your reply, the cross references are fields but I think the
problem is the document itself, as cross referencing works on other documents. This document was originally Word and then WordPerfect and now Word again! "Suzanne S.

Conversion from WP to Word is always a crap shoot. I recently saw a document
converted from WP that had hundreds of footnotes that Word evidently recognized and treated as footnotes--more or less--even though they were not in the standard format, nor could a new footnote be inserted in the series. It was quite bizarre. -- Suzanne S.
