TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Ctrl+A (F9) is fine for fields in the main body of the document - but it
does not update fields within headers/footers. At lest it doesn't work on my
system (Word 2000, NT) and, judging by the response, the same is true on
many other systems.
The easiest way to 'update' header/footer fields is to switch views.
Alternatively, you can close/re-open the doc.

Huh? I use doc fields for everything, and they update just fine with either
a right-click and Update Field, or Ctrl+A (F9).
Also, do they update when you close / re-open?
