Macro Placement

[Me]

The following answer was supplied to me about a question I posted:

~~~~~~~~~~~
No, that don't. An easy to get them to is to Preview the printing of the
document and then close the Print Preview.

It can be done with a macro

With ActiveDocument
.PrintPreview
.ClosePrintPreview
End With

That runs so quickly that you would hardly notice it.

Why would some fields in a Word 2003 document automatically update and others won't?

For example, the filename filed updates as it should, but in order to have
the lastsavedby and savedate fields update, I have to go into the fields (that are in a footer) and F9 to get them to update.

Shouldn't they all auto update?

Thanks.

My question is where do I put the macro? I'm not very familiar with coding,
so I'm not sure where I out this code. I didn't repsond to the original post
because it's quite a few pages back.

Thank you.

Gotcha. So I waould just need to add a "Sub" name for this little bit of
code and it will run everytime Word runs?

No.
A macro does require a Sub declaration, though.

To get it to run when Word starts (if that is what you want?) you need to
give it a special name. This is explained in the link above.
