Filename change automatically in footer when document is resaved

[Mary55]

When I resave my document, I want the new filenmame to appear automatically
in the footer of the document. How do I do that? I know it can be done.
I've seen it in other documents.

You need to insert a FILENAME field in the Footer - how you'd go about it
depends on which version of Word.

In 2007 see:

However it will not update *automatically* if you change the document name.
You would have to update the field by one of a variety of methods eg
switching to print preview. The simplest solution is to have an update macro
on the toolbar - use the code at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm
