AutoText Question
In Word 2003 it appears (at least for me) that the autotext feature in the
footer for file path and name does not automatically update if you move the document to another location. Is there a way to automate this feature as before in the older versions? |

AutoText Question
It never has automatically updated. Chances are that a print or print
preview updated the field when you saw it update before. Take a look at http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/File_Name_And_Path.htm for ways to force an update more frequently.

If you click on F9 it should update for you.

AutoText Question
Except you first have to get into the footer. Ctrl-A and F9 won't update it.
Print Preview will. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
