Update to last post: After I printed it, there it was. What happened? Also,
what is the patch switch and where does it go?


ALT-F9 toggles between Field codes and Field values. When you did ALT-F9,
you displayed Field codes, you had to do it a second time to toggle back to
field values.

After you entered the field codes as I suggested, all you needed to do was
select the IF field and do SHIFT-F9 to toggle back to field value for this
field only, not the whole document as ALT-F9 does. Thereafter, all you need
to do is hit F9 while having a field selected to update it.

Generally, when you print, it updates all fields, unless you deactivate that
option. Since it worked, you must have hit ALT-F9 as second time before
printing.
