field code: lastsavedby

[Guest]

I'm using two lastsavedby field codes: one in my footer and one in the body
of the text.

I want both to automatically update upon saving the file, not printing the
doc.

I note that the lastsavedby fields behave differently. The one in the footer
updates when I print (or print preview) the doc. However, the lastsavedby
field in the body doesn't update until I manually update it (by pressing F9
or right-clicking the field and selecting Update Field).

Can anybody help make the the lastsavedby field update automically upon
saving the doc?

You'd need to use a macro, one named FileSave, to force the field updates.
Example:
Sub FileSave()
ActiveDocument.Fields.Update
ActiveDocument.Save
End Sub

There used to be a KB article explaining why and how this worked, but it looks
as if it's been withdrawn...
