Word 2007 Field Update
I believe fields are supposed to update on opening by default, but mine never
dop. I can only update manually in the body of text or a header/footer. How can I get them to auto-update (Ctrl+SHIFT+F11 does nothing) |

Word 2007 Field Update
Assuming you open in Print Layout view, certain fields will be updated
because the document is repaginated; see €śWhich fields are updated when you open, repaginate, or print document€ť at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211629. Some fields must still be updated explicitly with F9. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "mike_c" wrote in message ...

Word 2007 Field Update
Hi mike_c,
How can I get them to auto-update (Ctrl+SHIFT+F11 does nothing) Ctrl+SHIFT+F11 isn't supposed to update fields. That's what F9 is for. To update all fields you can do a Print Preview or Ctrl-A followed by F9 (though the latter will only update fields in the body of the document). -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "mike_c" wrote in message ...

Word 2007 Field Update
If you want to force an update on opening the document, you could add an
autoopen macro to its template to update the fields in the document. The sample update code used as an example at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm would work in most instances - or simply add the update macro to a QAT (Quick Access Toolbar) button and have it always available to update your fields whenever you wish. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "mike_c" wrote in message ...
