Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.1a, 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

SUMMARY
All the fields in a Microsoft Word for Windows document are updated
when you print the document if the Update Fields check box is selected
in the Options dialog box. To access this option, choose Print from
the File menu, and choose the Options button.
If the Update Fields check box is selected in Word version 2.0, 6.0, 6.0a,
6.0c of Word for Windows, the option is remembered between sessions of
Word. The selections in the Options dialog box are recorded in the
Word for Windows preferences file, WINWORD.INI (Word 2.0) or
WINWORD.OPT (Word 6.0).
The Update Fields option in version 1.x of Word for Windows is not
remembered between sessions of Word. In this situation, the FilePrint
macro for version 1.x can be altered to automatically update all
fields when a document is printed.
