Hi,

Most likely a simple question…

Would anyone know how to catch the F9 keypress (update of linked items)
Following the update I would like to do some additional verification to the object, but I don’t know how to catch the F9 keypress down event.

The internal command executed by F9 is called UpdateFields. By creating a macro named UpdateFields you can intercept this command. Example:

Sub UpdateFields()
If MsgBox(“Do you really really want to update fields?”, vbQuestion + vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
ActiveDocument.Fields.Update
Else
Beep
End If
End Sub

Thanks a lot Hans.

Just noted that I forgot to mention that this is in word – does it make any difference ??

I had assumed that W2K stood for Word 2000. My reply was meant for Word.
