Problems with InsertText field and formatting

Has anyone had any problems using the InsertText field?
Specifically our organization recently abandoned the
master document feature to use the InsertText field
instead. In the beginning it worked fine, but as we start
working with larger documents (>200 pages) we're noticing
some discrepancies in the formatting.

For example, graphics will resize themselves, fonts will
reverse (bold goes plain and plain goes bold), numbering
doesn't start with the correct number, and sometimes is
indented. In all these circumstances the original document
is accurate.

Checked the knowledge base with no luck so I'm counting on
someone to know the answer.

Thanks!

See responses in formatting.longdocs newsgroup. Please do not multipost.

In the Microsoft Word newsgroups it is considered bad form to post separate
messages to multiple newsgroups. If you need to post in more than one forum
(unusual) please post a single message with both forums in the header of
that single message. That way (1) your question and the various answers stay
together, (2) less space is used on the news servers, (3) less bandwidth is
used on the Internet, (4) you only have to check one forum for answers that
appear in both forums, and (5) you won't unnecessarily annoy the people you
are asking for help. This isn't meant to criticize you. We were all
beginners once and the only way to learn is to try.  (BTW, a number of the
Microsoft newsgroups don't want posting in more than one newsgroup, period.
Check the FAQ.)
Take a look on the MVP FAQ website under "getting help" for more reasons ase
well as other suggestions for getting answers more easily and quickly. <URL:
