Hi,

Is there a way to update all the field values in a
document at one time?

I used the following method:

'Just to apply F9
ActiveDocument.Selection.WholeStory
ActiveDocument.Selection.Fields.Update

I worked very fast with a good performance (completed in
100ms , 70KB file) But there is a problem: I could not
update the fields in the footers, headers, footnotes,
endnotes and textboxes... by this method. Because
Selection.WholeStory is selecting the whole document
except these parts.

Then, I tried the following way:

For Each aRange In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
   aRange.Select
   Selection.WholeStory
   Selection.Fields.Update
Next

However, this method is very slow. It takes 5-7 seconds to
to update the fields of a document (size 60-70KB) Because
I went through the whole document. (I think it is not
necessary)

Now, does anybody have an idea about thsi problem? How can
I update all the fields at one time (or very quickly with
a good performance)?

Thanks,

Mahmut YILMAZ

Use the Range object instead of the Selection object.
