How do I auto generate filename to appear in footer for new docume
I am using Microsoft 2003. I am not sure how to make the filename auto
generate itself in the footer. For example, When i copy paste the whole content of my previous document to a new document, is it possible for the filename to auto generate itself in the footer? I have read previous posts relating to similar issues which involves macros. I have tried but yet failed and I am not good at coding either. Can anybody help me with the auto-updating of filenames in footer please? |

How do I auto generate filename to appear in footer for new docume
You can insert the FILENAME field in the footer. If you save the file under
a different name, you can then switch to Print Preview and back, which will update the field. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "hasmah" wrote in message ... I am using Microsoft 2003.

How do I auto generate filename to appear in footer for new do
Thank you so much. I have another question. It is also similar to this
subject. But instead of at the footer, is it possible for the filename to auto generate itself in a paragraph? Do I follow what I did for the footer?

I have applied what I did previously but it did not work. The filename did
not update and it still remains the same.Is there any other alternative?

Most fields do not update *automatically*. You would have to force an update
either by using a macro (suitable code at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm ) or switch to print preview and back having saved the document.. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org hasmah wrote: I have applied what I did previously but it did not work.

Or select the field and press F9.
But are you inserting the field correctly in braces created using Ctrl+F9? Are you doing this AFTER saving the document with a new filename? (The Filename field is not clairvoyant: it cannot update to the new filename until AFTER you have use SaveAs and assigned a new name.) -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...
