For Each oStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
    oStory.Fields.Update
    If oStory.StoryType <> wdMainTextStory Then
        While Not (oStory.NextStoryRange Is Nothing)
            Set oStory = oStory.NextStoryRange
            oStory.Fields.Update
        Wend
    End If
Next oStory
Set oStory = Nothing
End Sub

Hi Catalin,

I'm not sure if this code can be developed to be embedded in the document (and work through a macro) to update the fields automatically as we: save, save as, open, or print.

thank you
