Using SAVEDATE field in Word Template
We use a template that was created using Word 2003 that has a SAVEDATE field.
When users of the template who use Word 2000 save and close the document, the SAVEDATE field does not automatically update. We do not want to require that the users right click on the field to update it manually. Do you have any suggestions? |

We do not want to require that the users right click on the field to update it manually. Do you have any suggestions? That topic was discussed in this newsgroup last month -- see http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...273f43fb41ed29 If you aren't operating in the sort of paranoid environment that disables all macros, you can use a pair of them in the template to update the fields as part of the Save and SaveAs commands. They would look like this: Public Sub FileSave() On Error Resume Next ActiveDocument.Save Dim oRg As Range For Each oRg In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges oRg.Fields.Update Do While Not (oRg.Next Is Nothing) Set oRg = oRg.Next oRg.Fields.Update Loop Next oRg End Sub Public Sub FileSaveAs() On Error Resume Next Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs).Show Dim oRg As Range For Each oRg In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges oRg.Fields.Update Do While Not (oRg.Next Is Nothing) Set oRg = oRg.Next oRg.Fields.Update Loop Next oRg End Sub See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm for instructions if needed. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
