Maybe have a macro such as the following and assign it to a keystroke?
Sub UpdateFieldsAndMoveOn()
Dim r As Word.Range
Set r = Selection.Range
r.Fields.Update
r.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd
r.Select
Set r = Nothing
End Sub

(Word 2003) I am wondering if there is a way to stay in the same spot in
your document after using F9 to update the fields. I've found out how to
return to the last place you made changes and created a macro button using
that; however, we have some documents created using automatic numbering
and
when I scroll through the doc and see that the numbering needs to be
updated,
I want to be able to update the fields, but stay in the same spot in my
doc.
The macro I created doesn't necessarily work in this circumstance because
I
have not actually made any changes yet; I've just noticed right away that
the
numbering needs to be updated. If I just hit F9, it always takes me back
to
the beginning of my doc and then I have to scroll all the way through it
to
get back to where I was.
Any help?
