Thanks Graham. I didn't need the macro, just adding the "\*Charformat"
switch in the field did the trick. Worked like a charm.

The following macro will update only the filename field when you save the
document. Copy the macro and save it with the name FileSaveAs to ensure it
updates if you change the filename:

Sub FileSave()
Dim oField As Field
Dim oSection As Section
Dim oFooter As HeaderFooter
ActiveDocument.Save
For Each oSection In ActiveDocument.Sections
For Each oFooter In oSection.Footers
If oFooter.Exists Then
For Each oField In oFooter.Range.Fields
If oField.Type = wdFieldFileName Then
oField.Update
End If
Next oField
End If
Next oFooter
Next oSection
End Sub

The font size issue can be overcome by opening the footer and toggling the
field display with ALT+F9 to show
{Filename \p} add a charformat switch within the brackets thus

{Filename \p \*Charformat} then update the field (F9) and if necessary
toggle the display again to show the result. See

I have created a template (M$ Word 2007), and have inserted a field
in the footer to have the filename with path. I have set options to
update fields before printing. When a new document is created using
this template, the document is saved to give it a real file name, and
then the document is printed, the filename field changes font size to
11pt, which is the "Normal" size, even though when I set up the
filename field I told it to be 8pt. How can I get the field to
update and stay the same size?
