Fields and the Fill-In Function

[Jamie]

I have templates that I did not create and worked fine
until recently. Now when I use F9 from my .dot file the
Fill In field appears (Name, Company, City etc etc) and I
can change the text in that box but it never gets inserted
into the document to Print. Where do I look for
help/settings that may cause or help resolve this.

Win98SE; Word97-SR1

Thanks in Advance

Do you see the value in your document on screen? i.e. does it disappear when
you print the document, or does it never appear at all?

Are your FILLIN fields nested, cf.

{ SET A { FILLIN } }

If so I suppose you could have lost the { A } or { REF A } you would need to
display/print the field.

(You can use Alt-F9 to show the codes)

Probably also worth changing Tools|Options|Print|Update Field Codes and
seeing whether that makes any difference.

Are you aware of any updates to Word being installed on your system?
