Word - field codes

Question

Hi Guys

I would like to put the document file name in the footer of a Word doc, but without the file extension.  If this can be achieved by editing the field code can anyone tell me what the field code needs to be?  Thanks.

Answer 1

In the footer, insert the following field

{ DOCVARIABLE filename }

and then run a macro containing the following code

Dim i As Long, j As Long

With ActiveDocument

    .Variables("filename") = Left(.Name, InStr(.Name, ".") - 1)

    For i = 1 To .Sections.Count

        With .Sections(i)

            For j = 1 To .Footers.Count

                .Footers(j).Range.Fields.Update

            Next j

        End With

    Next i

End With

Hi Doug

Since my short reply yesterday, I have created a footer that I routinely use as a 'building block' and together with your macro, saved in the Normal template, now makes creating the whole footer much easier/quicker. so thanks again.
