Automatically updating fields like INCLUDETEXT
Hi, is it possible to automatically update FIELDS like INCLUDETEXT in table,
everytime the document is opened? In my case, I am using a BOOKMARK & then INCLUDETEXT to copy text into a cell located in a separately saved document with a similar table. I would like to update this field automatically in some way instead of manually. I see where the button is to update it when printing, but I want it updated more often than that so I don't confuse the information. Also, would you tell me the easiest way to set up my field so that changing the INCLUDETEXT field text would change the original "BOOKMARK" text also? Thanks, I hope this makes sense! Any help is appreciated! |

Automatically updating fields like INCLUDETEXT
Hi mokshadavid,
Although there's also an 'update automatic links at open' option, this doesn't work with INCLUDETEXT fields, so the short answer is no. However, you can update the field at any time by selecting it and pressing F9. Alternatively, to automate updating on opening, you could insert a macro into the document, coded like: Sub AutoOpen() ActiveDocument.Fields.Update End Sub Cheers -- macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "mokshadavid" wrote in message ... | Hi, is it possible to automatically update FIELDS like INCLUDETEXT in table, | everytime the document is opened?
