Page # Fields Not Updating (when they are in body of doc vs Header
Aside from having fields update before printing, how can the page # fields
update when they are used in the body of a document. For example, if you use Page X of Y, and you have multiple pages, the #'s do not update if the fields are used outside of the header/footer. I know you can use F9 to manually update, but how can I get them to auto update as they do in the header/footer? |

Page # Fields Not Updating (when they are in body of doc vs Header
Hi Frank,
Aside from having fields update before printing, how can the page # fields update when they are used in the body of a document. For example, if you use Page X of Y, and you have multiple pages, the #'s do not update if the fields are used outside of the header/footer. I know you can use F9 to manually update, but how can I get them to auto update as they do in the header/footer? Aside from F9, there's no way to force Word to change how/when fields are updated. This article describes, more or less, how field updating works in Word http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=330079 You can probably get these fields to update by switching views (into/out of print preview or Normal view).

Thank you Cindy. Unfortunately, this does not solve the problem. Anyone
have some additional ideas? "Cindy M." wrote: Hi Frank, Aside from having fields update before printing, how can the page # fields update when they are used in the body of a document.

Page # Fields Not Updating (when they are in body of doc vs He
Are you saying that the PAGE fields do not update even if you switch to
Print Preview and back to your current view? Note that if you are trying to place page numbers so that they appear to be outside of the header/footer area, you can do that by inserting the PAGE field in a text box (or frame) anchored to the header paragraph. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Frank" wrote in message ...
