Automatic updating fields in Word 2000 Sp3
Hi
I need some confirmation or the opposite. If i have two fields in my word document, one in document body and the other in document footer. Both are pointing at a custom property. { DOCPROPERTY property1 \* MERGEFORMAT } When the document is loaded the field in the footer is automatically updated - but the one in the body aint. Can this be true? If yes - is there any other way than writing VBA open method doing this for me, i can get the field in the body updated at load. Hope somebody has a good answer. |

Hi pnp
When the document is loaded the field in the footer is automatically updated - but the one in the body aint. Can this be true? Yes. If yes - is there any other way than writing VBA open method doing this for me, i can get the field in the body updated at load. Probably not. For the last word on the subject, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q211629/. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly. Microsoft MVP. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word "pnp" wrote in message ...

One more thing...
Just a simple yes/no - does this behaviour change in office 2003?

Hi pnp
No. Or to be more precise, not that I'm aware of, and I haven't been able to locate an equivalent article from Microsoft about Word 2003. Shauna Kelly.
