Default cross-referencing in callouts

Running a macro containing the following code should probably do what you
want:

Dim myStoryRange As Range

For Each myStoryRange In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
myStoryRange.Fields.Update
Do While Not (myStoryRange.NextStoryRange Is Nothing)
Set myStoryRange = myStoryRange.NextStoryRange
myStoryRange.Fields.Update
Loop
Next myStoryRange

Hope this helps.

Greetings! Has anyone here found a way to get cross-references in
call-outs to update when all document cross-references are updated?

Here's an example of my problem: I frequently use Word call-outs on
pictures in my documents to further explain things. I also started
referencing other sections with further details from within the callouts.
This seemed very useful until I found out that when I select my whole
document, using for example Ctrl+A, and then press the F9 key to update my
cross-references, the references in callouts are not updated.

The only way I know of to make these references update is to click in each
individual callout, select its text, and press the F9 key. With dozens of
callouts in my documents this is very inconvenient.

Any suggestions from the experts?

Thanks,
Jose
