Hi all,

Bit of a golden oldie for ya! We use Word 2003 and use a field in footer to show the file path of the document, I found out later that the auto field update isn't included in 2003, so I used the MS advice and added the code that does it.

Works a treat.... but our users have found that every time they save a document it updates the field with the new location, and records it as an alteration, which requires another save when they close the doc down, not a major issue, but a slight annoyance, is there a way to re jig the code so as it becomes a part of the save process so as it doesn't require another save?

Code:
Sub UpdateDocFields()

' Called by ModSave:FileSave and FileSaveAs and modOpen:FileOpen
' Updates fields in the active document
' Macro created 08/02/2010 by Robert Morley

   Dim aStory As Range
   Dim aField As Field
  
   For Each aStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges

      For Each aField In aStory.Fields
         aField.Update
      Next aField

   Next aStory

End Sub
