Update Auto Text (file name & path)

[Guest]

I would expect the AutoText File Name & Path in a Footer to update when I do
a "Save As" but it doesn't.
Am I wrong to expect that?
It doesn't update even if I close the document & re-open it.
It does update if I close Word & then re-open it.

Thanks in advance...

Go into the header or footer area and press the F9 key. Does that solve your
problem?

 

[Guest]

Yes it does, Thank you!
Question tho...What did I just do by doing that?
Is there a corresponding menu command?

Thanks!

Update fields. No menu command except you can update all fields in a document
each time you print it. Click Options on the Tools menu, click the Print tab,
and then select the Update fields check box.

You can make the menu command by adding the sample macro at
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm to a toolbar button.
