Update fields in entire document in Word 2003
I used to be able to "select all" and enter F9 to update all fields in a word
document (back in Word 2000). Since I switched to Word 2002 and 2003 I have to select each field and update individually. This is a real pain for large documents with lots of cross references. Is there some option I need to select to get this feature to work again? -- Sandor |

Sandor,
I don't know why that isn't working for you? See the section on updating fields: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Field_Macros.htm for a macro to update all fields in a document. -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word.

Update fields in entire document in Word 2003
I found the problem. I had added a text box at the beginning of the
document. The F9 update hangs on the text box. I also found another bug where updates to heading text cross-references don't update the last letter in the heading text. I've got a sample document demonstrating the bugs and I'll try to send it to Microsoft. -- Sandor "Greg Maxey" wrote: Sandor, I don't know why that isn't working for you?
