See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=832897 "The FILENAME field
does not automatically update when you open a document in Word 2002 or Word 2003". Tom @ Kent State University wrote: In MS Word, is there a way a document template can be set up to allow the autotext field 'filename' to be updated automatically when work is saved into a new word document? |

Thanks for you response. More directly, my question is when saving work from
a document template into a document, is there a way to make that new document filename show up in the FILENAME field?

document template - how to get autotext field update when save
In Word, a template is a .dot file, and a document is a .doc
file. You would not normally save work from a document template into a document. You should create a new document based upon a template, and then save the document to the filename of your choice. The filename field is not updated automatically upon save. Method 1 in the referenced KB article can be used at any time to update the filename field. You might be able to create a FileSave() macro that saves the file and updates the filename field. Tom @ Kent State University wrote: Thanks for you response.
