Changing a Filename in Header which changes when the document is renamed
Hi,
I was recently sent a Word document which has the filename in the header. When I saved the document under a different name, the name in the header instantly changed so as to reflect the "new" document name. How can I set up a document to do this snazzy little trick? I have tried using the entries shown in the list in "Insert Auto text" but this doesn't do the same job. I am using Word 2003 TIA |

Word 2000 here. Should work the same.
Insert | Field Document Information | Filename F9 toggles the update for the field once you've given the new document a filename. HTH! ) Abby "Mighty Magpie" mighty.magpie@home wrote in message ...

Changing a Filename in Header which changes when the document is r
Depending on what you require, you can:
1.In the header, where the document name is positioned, select Insert\Field in the field names, select DocProperties then Title. this will place the name you saved the document as in the header. 2. If the Title of the Document is on the First page with the style "Title" applied, Select Insert\Field in the field names, select Title then the case you require. You may have to press F9 to see the changes straight away, but they wil change automatically when the document is closed and re-opened.

Changing a Filename in Header which changes when the document is renamed
Thanks for the responses.
The second tip kind of works but only if I view header and then put the cursor at the beginning of the field and press F9 The document I was sent, whenever the file is saved with another name, the header changes accordingly to the same name. I shall keep trying. Thanks again "Abby" wrote in message ... Word 2000 here. Should work the same.
