Default Update all fields with single command?

I can instruct Excel to re-calculate all of the formulas in a sheet with a single command, F9.

Is there a corresponding command in Word that will update all the field codes (Date, FileName, etc) in the document (main text, headers/footers, footnotes, etc.), or do I have to trudge through the document updating them one by one?

Default Simple

Hi, Carr family. Select all (Ctrl+A), then press the F9 key to update all selected fields (which will be all, since you selected you whole document.

Best,
Ulodesk

Ctrl-A, F9 will update fields in the body of the document only. A print preview should take care of the rest.
