Auto text not working
In Word 2002, I have auto text fields that are not updating (e.g., in the
footer, I use the file name, which does not update when I re-save files with new names). How can I fix this problem? Thanks for any help! |

Word isn't very systematic on when and whether fields are updated - for
header and footer fields the quickest way to get everything to update is to go in into Print Preview and come back to Layout or Normal view. -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "BBiletch" wrote in message ...
