Hi Greg,

I don't see any particular reason for your field's misbehaviour, unless
it's something to do with the superfluous '/' following the first 'a3/c3'
expression.

Also, wouldn't it be easier to code your field thus:
{IF{=c3}= 0 "No GPA or Invalid" {IF{=a3/c3}< 2 {=a3/c3 \# 0.000} {=a3/c3 \#
0.000}}}
where the string "No GPA or Invalid" and the first ' {=a3/c3 \# 0.000}' are
both formatted in red? Testing for the divisor=0 is simpler than testing
for the division's result = "!Zero Divide", and you don't need to put the
'a3/c3' expressions in brackets.

Cheers
PS: It took longer to figure out what all the '&#8220;' strings in your
post were about than to recode the formula!!

This could be a printer issue or a Word2003 issue.

I have an nested IF and formula field to evaluate the
input of two table cells.  If the forumla returns !Zero
Divide or a value less < 2, the field result is displayed
with the font formatted as red.  Results 2 or greater are
displayed with black font.  The code is provided below.
Note that the [  ] are added to signify the start and stop
of the part of the code formatted with a red font.

{ IF { = (a3/c3/) } < &#8220;2.00&#8221;[{ IF { =(a3/c3) } = &#8220;!Zero
Divide&#8221;&#8221;No GPA or Invalid&#8221; { =(a3/c3) \# 0.000}}]{ =
(a3/c3) \# 0.000 }}

The field performs and displays on the screen both at work
(Word 2000) and at home (Word 2003).  Here is the odd
part, if I print at home or toggle to print preview, the
results to the field simply disappears!!  When I close
print preview the display is still gone.  If I look at the
UnDo icon there are three instances of Update Fields
displayed. If I CTRL+Z three times the display returns.
It is weird.  At work with Word 2000 everything displays,
and prints normally.  The only difference I see is
toggleing print preview in Word 2000 results in only 2
Update Fields intances.

I used the macro utility at home and ran the Word Update
Fields command three times.  There was no effect on the
display.

I am thinking this might have something to do with the
Word 2003 Print command.  Was wondering if anybody out
there has experienced this issue and has found a solution.

I'm not sure what the problem is but experiments here (also Word 2000/Word
2003, but just doing the Print Previews) suggest that if your formula is
within a table (where the a3 and c3 refer to table cells) but you also have,
e.g.

{ set a3 100 }{ set c3 0 }{ =({ a3 }/{ c3 }) }

outside the table, then in Word 2003 the formula previews as blank wherever
you put it. Without the { =({ a3 }/{ c3 }) } the formula previews OK,
although you need to refresh the field results first. In Word 2000 it always
works.

Now that experiment obviously does not pin down precisely what causes the
problem but it suggests to me that Word 2003 might be getting more confused
between table cell references and bookmark names than Word 2000 does.

I suppose the colour issue could be related to

- I think there is also a recent hotfix related to this issue. Since
hotfixing seems to be more frequent it has become a bit harder to keep track
of this stuff!
