Can I set up my Word so that every time I type any document whatsoever, that
the filename will appear as a footer?

Jay said:Yes, it is hard to believe. As explained in
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=832897, Microsoft deliberately
disabled automatic updating of filename fields starting in Word 2002;
before that, they did update automatically. The reason stated in the
"Cause" section, if taken at face value, is utter nonsense. I assume
there's something else involved that they'd rather not state
publically, maybe related to security.

I wonder about the AutoOpen macro: wouldn't it be easier (even:
faster) to simply switch to Print Preview and back than to iterate
through story ranges and fields?

Yes, of course it would be both easier and faster to use Print Preview. But
I think we (collectively) know more about manipulating Word's behavior than
almost anyone writing KB articles at Microsoft. <g>
To be certain that the Print Preview update will work, of course, you first
have to ensure that the option is set to update fields on printing.
