Update a field in Word 2013 using VBA

Question

I created a word document where I use fields (with Document properties) in the text, in the Footers but I also created an Word Art object with the Title-field in it.

I can Update the fields in the document using:

ActiveDocument.Fields.Update

For the Footers I use the PrintPreview

ActiveDocument.PrintPreview
ActiveDocument.ClosePrintPreview

But none of those updates my Field in the Word Art Object.

How can I update this?

Answer 1

A wordart object is a shape, is it really the case, that a word art object can contain a field instead of just overlaying? Can you put out some more information/ did you double check if the field may have been updated but the content stays the same?

Answer 2

I have found a suitable work arround in Word for my problem.

It is not realy neccesary to use Word Art, I can use the same with "Text Effects and Typography"

I am still curious if there is a real solotion for this, but for now it works dor me
