I am working with a client who has used WordPerfect in the past and now has
switched to MS Word. In WP, when the opened a document with a date field,
it would automatically update upon opening the file. With Word, It does not
update until you print the document or manually update the field(s). Is
there a way to automatically update all fields when opening a document
I know I can use a macro, but am unsure of the best way to write it.
Thanks for your help!
