The fact that you are inserting the copyright notice into a footnote
suggests that you may be referencing other documents and you may want to do
this on a regular basis. As the copyright date for a particular document is
never going to change, I think I would avoid fields altogether and use a
macro to insert the copyright notice at the cursor. You could assign the
macro to a keyboard shortcut or toolbar button e.g. for the current year:
Sub InsertCRight()
Selection.TypeText "Copyright " & Chr(169) & Year(Date)
End Sub
For the macro to be able to insert any year, as in a reference to a
document, you would need to be able to select the year. The extra code could
be added, but I wonder if that is any quicker than simply typing the
copyright notice manually? However
Sub InsertCRight()
Selection.TypeText "Copyright " & Chr(169) & _
InputBox("Enter year", , Year(Date))
End Sub
