Hi zebo51,

To update all the fields, simply do Ctrl-A then F9.

FWIW, you could get rid of the '\* MERGEFORMAT ' without doing any harm to the fields. If you want to, press Alt-F9 to expose the field codes, then use Find/Replace with '\* MERGEFORMAT ' as the Find string and nothing for the Replace string. Press Alt-F9 again to toggle the display again afterwards.
