Reference to an external filename changing frequently roooberta 12/11/2008 3:55:00 PM I need to reference, within a Word document, the name of another file. The problem is that the name of the referenced file changes quite often. Does anyone know if there is a way to update all the references to that filename in my Word document without having to manually change every occurrence of it? I'm using Office 2008. Many thanks -- Roberta

RE: Reference to an external filename changing frequently Stefan Blom 12/17/2008 9:24:14 AM Have you tried storing the file name in a global variable (that is via a SET field)? That might simplify the task a bit. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "roooberta" wrote: [Quoted Text] > I need to reference, within a Word document, the name of another file.
