CREATEDATE field does not change with Save As
I am using Word 2000. I have a template with the date entered using the
CREATEDATE field. I create a new doc using Save As. The CREATEDATE field does not change unless I press F9. Is there a way to have the CREATEDATE field update without the user pressing additional keys. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

CREATEDATE field does not change with Save As
I hate to ask, but is this actually saved as a template (.dot) file? Where
is the CREATEDATE field located (header/footer or main doc). You could try adding an AutoNew macro to your template such as: Sub AutoNew() Dim aStory As Range Dim aField As Field For Each aStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges For Each aField In aStory.Fields aField.Update Next aField Next aStory End Sub This would make sure that all new documents created with the template updated all the fields.

No - most fields will only update when an update is forced. The simplest
answer is to add an update macro to your toolbar and click it when you have made any changes - use the sample code at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm Or you could switch to print preview and back. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org NancyM wrote: I am using Word 2000.
