Auto update file path MS Word

[mattaylor]

Documents have been moved to new directories but still show in footer as old file path. Staff often forget to change or update the field as required. Is there a way to automatically update the file path on exit/save without any user intervention?

Any advice would be great

thanks

Hi Mat,

Is this in a filename field, or is it something typed?

If it's a filename field, see:

for a solution.

If it's typed, I suggest replacing it with a filename field - and the above solution.

Cheers
