how to Autorefresh

[sagigorelik]

Hi all,


need help with this thing.

I saved a document and by using 'Quick Parts' attached it's file name to the header.now, I want to save this document by a different name and by doing so I want it's header to get the new name as well, without me opening the document and refreshing it.

Appriciate any help.

Did you add a Filename field to the header? In that case, you can update the field by switching to Print Preview and then exit (you can use Ctrl+P followed by ESC).

Thank you Stefan,
I did add the filename to the header.
My question is how can I auto update it after each change of doc's name.
That's to much work to open about 1000 files and in each one of them to press ctrl+p etc..
I just want to copy and save each file by a different name ,so the header shall get the new name as well.

Hope I'm being clear.

Cheers.

Unfortunately, FILENAME fields do not update automatically. You'll need a macro to do the job for you, for example, when a document is opened.

I don't know how to use macros but will appriciate an explaination about how to make the Filename field auto update after openening the .doc
