Automatic update of file name in footer - Word

[Irmgard Jacob]

I have noticed that sometimes when I file a document with another name, the
file name in the footer automatically updates itself.
At other times this doe snot happen.
How can I set it so that the file name in the footer updates automatically
eveyr time I save the document with another name.
Thank you so much.

The behavior of the FILENAME field has changed in recent versions of Word.
You can use a macro to force an update of the field. For more, see the
Knowledge Base article at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/832897/en-us ("The
FILENAME field does not automatically update when you open a document in
Word").

Note that if you don't want to use macros, you can force an update of the
field by switching to Print Preview and then back to your favorite view.
