I created a table with bookmarks, REF and ASK. I created
a macro to fill it in, but it doesn't update the fields
unless I run the macro twice.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

You would have to show us the macro for us to be able to give you any idea.

By the way, I'm using the macro suggestion that is in
word under ASK
"
Create a macro to automatically display ASK fields
On the Tools menu, point to Macro, and click Record New
Macro.
In the Macro name box, type a name for the macro.
Under Store macro in, click the name of the template
(template: A file or files that contain the structure and
tools for shaping such elements as the style and page
layout of finished files. For example, Word templates can
shape a single document, and FrontPage templates can
shape an entire Web site.) or document.
In the Description box, type any details about the macro
(macro: An action or a set of actions you can use to
automate tasks. Macros are recorded in the Visual Basic
for Applications programming language.) that you want to
save.
Click OK.
On the Edit menu, click Select All.
Press F9.
Press CTRL+HOME so that text is no longer selected.
Click Stop Recording . "

Thanks.

See the update code used as an example at
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm. This will update the fields.
Don't put the ASK fields in the header/footer and don't put ASK or REF in
text boxes.
