MS Office Forum / Word / General MS Word Questions / September 2003Fields in word
I have document templates which contain field codes, eg date. Suddenly (and coincidentally after running word updates?) when I open the document the field format appears instead of the text, eg {DATE\@"MMMMdYYYY"} instead of the current date. Although I can toggle to show the date, when I print, the surrounding text is affected, eg extra para returns put in, rows repeated etc. I have tried creating new templates but the problem is still there. Alt+F9 to toggle field codes. -- Suzanne S.

You need to check two settings: Tools | Options | View --> Field codes and Tools | Options | Print | Include with document --> Field codes. Normally, most people work with both of these settings turned off (unchecked). > I have document templates which contain field codes, eg > date.

Hi Kate, If you turn off the display of field codes under Tools>Options>View, do you still get the problem? If so, what version of Word and what update are you referring to? Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis. Hope this helps Doug Robbins - Word MVP > I have document templates which contain field codes, eg > date.
