MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / January 2004automatically 'update field' Word 2003
Hello to all you helpful people! I am using Word 2003. When I move headers that are automatically numbered (i.e. i have used bullet and numbering for headers), the numbers automatically update, which is very helpful. However, when I move a captioned object that is numbered, to re-number it so that they all retain sequence, I have to highlight the whole document, right click and select 'update field'. Is there any way of getting word to automatically update captioned fields once they have been moved? Thanks! Steve What you can do is set Word to update fields before printing documents: 1. Select Tools>Options. ¨ 2. Click the Print tab. 3. Make sure "Update fields" is ticked. 4. Click OK. Stefan Blom >-----Original Message----- >Hello to all you helpful people!

It won't update prior to printing, but setting this option ensures that, when you do print your document, you get the correct (updated) field results.
