We are trying to setup a template that will include the "save-as" name on the document the user is working on without the user having to select field update.. Most of the time the users open a document and start typing etc. then do a save-as and give the document a name. At that point they can type the document name on the document or select to insert a field. We would like the template to have the inserted field and when save-as is selected, the document field (name) is automatically updated.. We are not programmers, so please be specific with your response.
Thanks
 
Insert a { filename \p } field into the footer of the template. the \p
switch causes the path to be included. If you don't want that, delete it.

This field is available from the Insert Autotext pulldown on the Headers and
Footers toolbar, so you do not need to be a programmer to do it.
