Does Word have an option to update fields AUTOMATICALLY at open???

Hi Jamal,

1. The procedure for adding the code to a particular document, instead of to the Normal template, is exactly the same. However, every reference to 'ActiveDocument' should be changed to 'ThisDocument'.
2 & 3. That is correct.
4. You can store the code in doc or docm files, not in docx files
5. Your comment is contradictory:

It is working very well when the document is saved but unfortunately it doesn’t work when it is saved, saved as or printed

Does it work when saving, or does it not? AFAIK, the 'wdApp_DocumentBeforeSave' module, if correctly implemented in a Class Module, should work for both 'Save' and 'Save As' procedures.

As I am travelling, I am not in a position to review this matter more fully right now.
