I inserted a field into a file footer with Insert>Quick Parts>Field. I selected FileName.

This file is a .docx file that contains custom styles and macros, etc. I use it as a template. When I create a new file from that template, I change the file name. However, the footer field retains the file name for the template, and doesn't update to show the new name.

I know there are fields that dynamically update dates. Does anything work with the file name?

Thanks



PS. My quick-and-dirty fix was to create a macro that opens the footer and inserts the field. However, I'd like to eliminate those keystrokes, if possible.
