Filename in Footer - update automatically?
I have placed a FileName field in the footer of a template file. When I
start a document it gives it the name document1 (or document2) but when I do a Save and give the file a name the Filename field in the footer doesn't get updated with the new name. To update the filename in the footer's field I have to View Header and Footer select the footer select the text n the Filename field and right click and then Update Field. Isn't there a way for this to happen automatically? Thanks, SteveK |

Hi Steve,
try this: You can update all fields in a document each time you print it. Click Options on the Tools menu Click the Print tab, and then select the Update fields check box. does this help? Ivan www.ivanwalsh.com |

I've added the Saveas macro listed on that page to my macros that always
load. I also made one that runs with Save. It works. Thanks, Steve "Charles Kenyon" wrote in message ... Take a look at http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/File_Name_And_Path.htm.
