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:
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.

Thank you for the massive effort. I do appreciate it.

Apologies for the mistakes on my previous post and bothering you with more problems.

In short, what I wanted is to stick a code inside a particular document such that all the fields are updated automatically as I: save, save as, open and print.

It would be highly appreciated if your time allows to stick the codes that you have supplied in a particular document (and kindly send it) in the right place (Microsoft word objects, modules, class modules, references) such that I can use it as a master document. I tried to do that but sounds not to work (attached).

I to remind you with this thread when you come back!

Wish you a nice and safe trip. Take care.

Best regards

Jamal
