Updating Fields and Linked Data Before Printing a Word Document

Monday December 17, 2007
Microsoft Word should update linked data and fields before you print a document. However, this doesn't always happen. So, it is possible that your finished document may contain the wrong data. This can be a source of confusion and frustration for many users. But, there is an easy way to update linked data and fields before printing a Word 2007 document.

Hi James
I have been reading through your site. It is very helpful. I am a technical writer and work with word 2003. I am trying to find a solution to the following issue I have: I want to create a template in which everytime you change the title name of the doc, and then select Save As, the Filename automatically takes the title name. Is this possible. Do you have such troubleshooting material?
Thanks in advance
Melanie
