macro recorder does not record

[Al]

When I use the macro recorder to make a macro I get the through the naming
window ok and the recording indicator comes on.
But when I do all the things i want done and stop the reording and go back
to the macro all that is showing is my name and the macro title.
This is happening in Word 2002, but the recorder works in Excel.

What actions are you actually trying to record?

Right, as you have discovered, some of the interaction with the built-in
dialogs do not get recorded.

In your case, try

Selection.Fields(1).Update

for the currently selected field.


Or, for all fields in the document:

ActiveDocument.Fields.Update


Or, for only a certain type of field:

Dim MyField As Field

For Each MyField In ActiveDocument.Fields
If MyField.Type = wdFieldLink Then MyField.Update
Next

Thanks Jean

The second one gets the job done well.

Now...another question!

Is there a way to make it run automatically when I open just that document?

I tried "auto-open" and "autorun" and "auto_run"
