I want to insert a field which is the file name.
But I want the field to be automatically updated when I change the file
name, instead of updateiing the field manually every time?
Is this possible?
Also if possible can I do the same for a footer field?

To automate this, you would have to intercept the FileSaveAs command.

The following example uses Graham Mayor's macro to update all fields
(see http://gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm):

Sub FileSaveAs

Dim oStory As Range

Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs).Show 'Added line...

For Each oStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
oStory.Fields.Update
If oStory.StoryType wdMainTextStory Then
While Not (oStory.NextStoryRange Is Nothing)
Set oStory = oStory.NextStoryRange
oStory.Fields.Update
Wend
End If
Next oStory
Set oStory = Nothing

End Sub
