Re: Update All (Cntrl A) Does Not Work
Thanks (again)
Where / how are the various "story ranges" defined / controlled? Is it possible to view / interogate Word so that I can see what story ranges are defined and what each contain? Can you point me to somewhere that tells me more about story ranges? Also does you macro work through headers & footers as well as the main body of a document?

Re: Update All (Cntrl A) Does Not Work
Yes the macro does work in header/footers - where it might fall down is when
there are reference tables e.g Tables of Contents, Tables of Figures etc which *may* need extra processing.
