Footers and auto updating

[Guest]

When I move the location of my document to another folder, how can I set it
up so that the footer file path and name automatically update? Is this
possible? Otherwise, we are having to manually update the file name and path
to EVERY document we have.

Thanks!

If the footer file path and name were inserted as fields, they probably will
update, you're just not noticing. See:

Otherwise, that's what you need to do: insert them as fields. See:

View | Header and Footer | on the Header and Footer Toolbar, use the drop
down box and select Filename and Path. I hope this has been helpful to you.

I tried that too. Thanks though!

Yes, I know that but unfortunately my paths don't automatically update when
moving the doc to a completely different folder. Thanks though!
