Non-DDE fields do not update automatically when their source
information changes. Any field entered using the CTRL+F9 key is not
evaluated when it is entered. A field entered using the Field option
from the Insert menu is initially evaluated when it is entered.
To update a field, do the following:
- Select the entire field, including the enclosing brackets.
- Press the F9 key.
A field cannot update unless the information it displays is available.
Certain fields are not updated until the information they return
becomes available. In most cases, these fields update themselves as
the appropriate information becomes available.
Examples of fields that do not initially update are Printdate,
Lastsavedby, and Revnum.
