we use doc propertys as fileds throughout the doc, the user fills in the Doc properties, and right click updates fileds in docs to populate
currently what i have done is
new Doc library
blank template as "new Doc" colums added so these appear in sharepoint and doc properties page
all looks fine but is that the write way or is there better?

Hi! Unfortunately, there are some restictions when using word 2003 format, one of them is that doc properties does not get updated automatically on document opening (user should initiate update manually). However, there is a workaround for this (which we successfully used) - write macro for the template, that will update doc text automatically on open.
The macro is following:
Sub AutoOpen()
With Options
.UpdateFieldsAtPrint = True
.UpdateLinksAtPrint = True
End With
ActiveDocument.Fields.Upda te
End Sub
The macro is following:
Sub AutoOpen()

.UpdateFieldsAtPrint = True

ActiveDocument.Fields.Upda
