Hi Reb,

Depends on what you mean by "update".

If you have fields in the footer and you need to make them update
after making some change in the document, go to File > Print Preview
and then click Close to go back to the Print Layout view (assuming you
have Update Fields checked in Tools > Options > Print).

If you're talking about editing the text of the footer, you have to
unprotect the document, make the change, and reprotect the document.
