Mac OS 8.1, Office97, Word 6.1, Printing Problem, Laser writer 320

[RebPd1]

I use a Powerbook G4, supporting OS X, but am trying to resolve a
problem with a legacy mac.

Under Mac OS 8.1 (Powermac 7300), and using Office 97 and Word 6.1,
when adding either i) PageNo, ii) Date, iii) Time to the header or
footer of a Word document, whilst this information is display within
the document, display problems arise in both Page Preview and
Printing.

The fields {PAGE} {DATE} {TIME} are substituted for the actual time.

Two issues arise:
i. What factors give rise to the problem
ii. How can the problem be alleviated.

Not sure exactly what version you're running (Office 97 is a Windows
version), but you can try unchecking the Preferences/Print/Include with
document/Field codes checkbox.

Thanks.

Using Word 6.01, selecting from the Menu, Tools/Options/Print and
unchecking 'Field Codes' resolves the issue.
