Hi Paul,
I’m still wondering why –up to now- there isn't an option that updates all the fields automatically! For example, the only field that can be updated automatically (when any change occurs) is the “Date” field! Why this option is exclusively set to the “Data” field?
All other fields are updated by two ways:
1. Either by using the command “Update field”! this not practical since it needs to be clicked manually
2. Or by checking the option “Update fields before printing”! this is not practical since it depends on the setting of the “Word” on the computer
What I’m looking for is to have an option that can update the fields automatically when any change occurs!
For instance, when the “FileName” field is inserted, why it is not AUTOMATICALLY changed as the name of file is changed? Why do we need to use the command “Update field” MANUALLY to perform this?
the screenshots are attached
