Bill,
Yes. Here is my boiler plate answer to updating fields.
When a change is made, you can update the field by selecting the field and
pressing F9, or update all fields by pressing CTRL+a (selects all) and
pressing F9, toggling to and from print preview (if "Update Fields" is
checked in the File>Print>Options dialog box), or running a macro something
like:
Sub UpdateFields()
Dim oStory As Range
For Each oStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
oStory.Fields.Update
If oStory.StoryType <> wdMainTextStory Then
While Not (oStory.NextStoryRange Is Nothing)
Set oStory = oStory.NextStoryRange
oStory.Fields.Update
Wend
End If
Next oStory
Set oStory = Nothing
End Sub
