It does not update automatically, just when you decide to, as i already said:

But now you have a great solution from Paul...

Sure. i understand.

I tried it and it worked very well! what i wanted is to Automate this behavior (updating fields) as we: save, save as, open or print

in the AutoCAD software, for instance, we could do this easily, we just mark it as an option and doesn't need much of work (attached). are the developer of the AutoCAD more a ware for the needs of the users than the MS Word developers? we are talking here about the same feature (updating fields). what takes ages in MS Word can be implemented in one click in the AutoCAD. Well, Word and AutoCAD are different, but as a user, when i compare the power of the same feature in these two software, i could guess which one is more efficient.

many thanks

Jamal

Hi Jamal,

The code to put a document's name on the title bar is quite different from the code to update fields. They have nothing to do with each other.

You asked for a document with all the code in place. See attached. The document is in Word's doc format, but you can save it in docm format if you want.

Note: I've modified the code that handles fields in tracked changes, but you may not even need that.
