Hi there,
My word users have the ceckbox "Update Fields" on the Print tab of
Options marked, because some documents need it.

But for some other documents I need to uncheck this box, so: How can I
uncheck that option from a Macro or VBA Sub ?

Thanks,
Marc.

Hi Marc,

basically it is:

options.UpdateFieldsAtPrint = false

Another approach is to lock the fields that you don't want to update.
Just select them and press Ctrl+F11. (If you later want to unlock
them, select them and press Ctrl+Shift+F11.)
