Is there a way of having Word automatically insert the name of the user on opening a document? I have tried Quick Parts and field but it doesn't work when other users try it.


Thanks!

Most Word fields including the USERNAME field do not update automatically. It is necessary to update them manually.

The most reliable method would be to use a macro, either to update the field, or to simply insert the user name at the appropriate place, but then you cannot force users to run the macros.
