Update Fields Options turns itself on

[Julian Clarke]

I am using word tables and macros to add simple statements
and they work fine. The bottom field may include a "SUM"
statement.
This all works perfectly until my computer changes its
settings itself and in tools/options/print I find that
the "update fields" has mysteriously become ticked
resulting in my bottom field adding itself automatically a
secon time when I print.
This is a real pain. How can I stop it from happening?

Hi Julian,

I don't know what might be causing your 'update fields' setting to change
(could be your macro) but you really should correct the problem that's
causing the SUM field to include it's own cell. You may find some useful
pointers in the document at:
