MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / April 2006Update fields in Header/Footer
Is there a way to force the fields inside the header/footer to refresh/update but on for the page the user is currently on? I want to be able to update this without the need to update all sections and pages so that it is much faster when just dealing with one page. ML, Not sure I understand exactly what you are trying to do. You might be able to adapt one of the field macros provided here to suit your particular need: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Field_Macros.htm Probably this With Selection.Sections(1) .Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Fields.Update .Headers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage).Range.Fields.Update .Footers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage).Range.Fields.Update .Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Fields.Update End With but I would be very surprised if you were able to detect the difference in performance between that and Dim i As Long With ActiveDocument For i = 1 To .Sections.Count With .Sections(i) .Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Fields.Update .Headers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage).Range.Fields.Update .Footers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage).Range.Fields.Update .Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Fields.Update End With Next i End With which will update the fields in all of the headers and footers in the document.

The performance issues is because Word repaginates it seems no matter what you do and in a long document it slows things down too much. > Probably this > [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] >> I want to be able to update this without the need to update all sections >> and pages so that it is much faster when just dealing with one page. Updating fields in headers and footers for some vs all sections will have no effect on Word's repagination. > The performance issues is because Word repaginates it seems no matter what > you do and in a long document it slows things down too much.

Headers and footers are not in just one page, but one section (which may be the entire document).

I am well aware of that. I was just hoping there might be a way to just refresh the current page fields or something along those lines. > Headers and footers are not in just one page, but one section (which may > be the entire document). >> Is there a way to force the fields inside the header/footer to >> refresh/update but on for the page the user is currently on? >> I want to be able to update this without the need to update all sections >> and pages so that it is much faster when just dealing with one page. If you are well aware of that, the hope is self-evidently absurd. >I am well aware of that.

Well despite headers and footers not being page specific you can make them have page specific info displayed in them. Thanks though for your comment, very helpful. > If you are well aware of that, the hope is self-evidently absurd. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >>>> sections and pages so that it is much faster when just dealing with one >>>> page.
