Automatic Text Update

Okay, this is what I want to do. In each of our Word documents everytime we
save it we need to update the date and version number located in the footer
of the document. Is there a way to do this automatically? I thought about a
macro, but the version number doesn't just change once it changes everytime
it's "saved as." Any ideas? Thanks.

You could name the macro FileSaveAs, then it would always trigger when the
user runs that command. Change the version number, update the inforamtion,
then display the dialog box so that the user can proceed (or do it in reverse
order). If you need to follow up on the details, you should ask in a word.vba
newsgroup.
