How to Update Fields in Shapes or Header or Footer?

[Jing You]

hi,

There are some fields in Shapes of document. The code
ThisDocument.fields.update can not update these fields. I don't know how to
update them using VBA code. The same problem exists with fields in Header or
Footer of document.

Does anyone can help me and give a example?


Thanks,

Jing You

See
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/ReplaceAnywhere.htm
to get a code example on how to cycle through all of a document stories
(headers, footers, textboxes, endnotes, footnotes, body text, etc.)

This is for replacing text but you can adapt it for updating by using each
story range,
e.g.:

'_______________________________________
Do Until (rngStory Is Nothing)
rngStory.Fields.Update
Set rngStory = rngStory.NextStoryRange
Loop
'_______________________________________
