Default Update Merge Field in a Header / Footer

Hi All,



Looking for a way to update a specific Merge Field in my document's footer.

Currently, I'm using this bit of code to update/unlink my Merge Fields but it doesn't pick up anything in the footer of my document.

appWD.Selection.WholeStory
appWD.Selection.Fields.Update
appWD.Selection.Fields.Unlink

Further, if I were to update everything in the footer, I believe it would remove the auto page # at the bottom, which I would like to remain "linked". So if there is a way to update a specific merge field contained in the footer, that would probably be best.

Thanks all,
Rich
