MS Office Forum / Word / Document Management / May 2008Help: Cannot remove field from Word
I appreciate your help on this issue. Somehow, everytime I create a new Word document, and when I save it, Word inserts automatically a field at the bottom of the page showing the file location, and date and time of edit. When I delete this text, and I hit save again, the field is reborn!! This is extremely annoying. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot in advance. Steve The field code has been saved as part of Normal.dot. Take a look here to see how to restore Normal.dot to the default: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/BlankDocNotBlank.htm  SignatureHerb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com >I appreciate your help on this issue.

I tried the instructions given, and created normal.dot from scratch, but I still get that extremely annoying field! Steve Do you have any add-ins installed? From your description, I think you may have a macro named FileSave or FileSaveAs (or both). In that case, those macros will run instead of the built-in Save and Save As. Such macro(s) may be created to add fields and such macros could as well be in your Normal.dot. But since your Normal.dot is new, that does not seem to be the problem. See : http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/CheckIfAddinsInstalled.htm in order to find out whether you have add-ins installed If add-ins are installed, try to turn them off one by one (Tools > Templates and Add-Ins) in order to find out whether one of them causes the problem.
