In Word 2002, I have auto text fields that are not updating (e.g., in the
footer, I use the file name, which does not update when I re-save files with
new names). How can I fix this problem? Thanks for any help!
 
Word isn't very systematic on when and whether fields are updated - for
header and footer fields the quickest way to get everything to update is to
go in into Print Preview and come back to Layout or Normal view.
