Update fields after closing Header (Office 2003 Word)

Topic

New Reply

Hello all,
Created a simple macro that opens the first page header, positions the cursor where the user needs to insert text.
I need to be able to update the cross reference in the other pages header (I know how to do) when the user closes the header (don’t know how to do).
How do I make Word run the UpdateFields macro I created when the user clicks OK in the header.
tks

You could hijack the CloseViewHeaderFooter command:

Sub CloseViewHeaderFooter()
‘ Code to execute before closing Header/Footer view goes here
…
‘ Close header/footer view
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument
‘ Code to execute after closing Header/Footer view goes here
…
End Sub

Note: this command is executed when the user clicks Close in the Header/Footer toolbar, but unfortunately not when the user selects Normal View or Print Layout view from the View menu, or when the user double clicks in the main document.
