![]() How you do this has been covered in other issues of WordTips, but here is a rather simple macro that will do the updating: One easy way is to use a macro to update all fields, regardless of where they are located. If you want to affect the fields in the header or footer, you need to place the insertion point within the header or footer and then use Ctrl+A. ![]() ![]() When you are in the main document an you press Ctrl+A, you are selecting all the text in the main document layer, and the subsequent action (pressing F9) affects only what you've selected. Your main document text is on one layer and other elements are on different layers, such as the graphics layer or the header/footer layer. The reason that this doesn't work is because Word utilizes the concept of "layers" or "stories" in putting a document together. Christina wonders why the field isn't updating. When she updates the version number on the title page, it doesn't update on the footer, even if she presses Ctrl+A and then presses F9. She uses a field in the footer of the document to reference this version number. Christina has a version number that is on the title page of her document, and she updates it manually.
