Macro/VB to turn on Update Fields & Links

[Kamran]

I need help creating a macro I can insert into a Word document that will set
user options in Tools > Setup so that Update Fields and Update Links are
checked on the Print Tab. Thanks.

The following code lines will turn on the "Update fields" and "Update links"
options in Tools > Options > Print tab:

With Options
.UpdateFieldsAtPrint = True
.UpdateLinksAtPrint = True
End With

See this article if you need help on installing macros:

Tip: If you record a macro while changing options settings, you will most
likely be able to find out which VBA code correspond to which settings.

Thanks. I forgot to mention that it needs to run when the user opens the
document -- what can I add to it?

You could insert the code in a macro named "AutoOpen" and store the macro in
a code module in the document:

Sub AutoOpen
[insert the code here]
End Sub

For further information about auto macros, see "Running a macro

Thanks for the tip, Lene. Nothing like getting assistance from Denmark on a
Word problem in Washington, DC!
