Re: AutoText Question

[Charles Kenyon]

It never has automatically updated. Chances are that a print or print
preview updated the field when you saw it update before. Take a look at
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/File_Name_And_Path.htm for ways to force an update
more frequently.

Hope this helps,

Except you first have to get into the footer. Ctrl-A and F9 won't update it.
Print Preview will.
