MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / November 2007Update multiple links in different sections by selecting the F9 ke
Hi Guys, I have a rather larhe document that requires updating several differnet links (setup via the File|Properties) and when these links are selected and updated only the currently selected section is updated. I have tried selecting the whole document via CTRL A and selecting the F9 key but that only updates the current section that has been highlighted and does not update the links that are in different sections. The different sections are set up via inputting section breaks. It would be nice to know how to automatically update all the links in the different sections as I have about 6 different sections all up and rather than going through the whole document it would be nice to update all links in just one sweep!! Please help me guys, its quite frustrating !! Cheers, Ian Ctrl+A should select all 6 Sections of the document so that when you press F9 all of the links should be updated. I must admit however, I do not know what you mean by the links being "setup via the File|Properties".  SignatureHope this helps.

My guess is that the OP is referring to fields (such as DOCPROPERTY fields) which display the contents of the Title, Subject, etc. boxes in the Document Properties dialog box.

The sections in the header and footer must be selected seperatly and then updated.

It is actually updated, including the headers and footers!! No requirement for the macro!!
