You capture user instructions by writing a macro of the same name. In this
case FileSave and FileSaveAs.

Thanks, I thought it would be something like that, where I'm stumped is
how
to capture a SAve or Save as so I can do that update as soon as the user
saves the file under a new name.

You'll need to write some code --

Dim pRange as Word.Range
For each pRange in ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
Do
pRange.Fields.update
set pRange = pRange.NextStoryRange
Loop until pRange is nothing
Next

That update all fields in your document, wherever they're located.
(Apart
from headers and footers, fields in textboxes and footnotes also need to
be
updated separately.)

Trying to create a template which holds the filename in the header. If
you
save the document under a new name the filename field will only update
on
printing if the box is ticked in Tools, Options, Printing. I would
like to
force the field to update as soon as file is saved. I realise this
possibly
should come under "programming" topic.
