Neither of "Update fields" nor "Update links" were checked. I tried checking
each one individually and both at the same time and now I loose the merge
data in both the body and footer when I print preview even though I have
unchecked both of these.

What is most puzzeling to me is that the document is created on one PC and
saved to a shared drive. When you open the document saved to the shared
drive all the data is present in both the body and the footer. But if you
print or print preview the data reverts to field names but just in the
footer. I have solved the issue for now by saving the original document to a
PDF file on the shared drive.

I'm not sure why any of the following information has anything to do with
the issue since when you view the saved document the data is present. The
original document is created in MS Office XP running on Windows 98 running on
MS Virtual Machine. The shared folder is on an SBS 2003 machine.

I have a word document that was created using a macro. This document has
data fields in both the body and the footer. When I try to print this
document to a remote printer from the remote location the data in the
footer
(only) reverts to the merge field name. This also happens when you
convert
the document to PDF. This document can be printed as expected at the
office.
I am using MS Office 2003 Professional. I am accessing the document from
home by logging in through Remote Web Workplace. The server is MS Small
Business Server 2003 standard SP1. This issue is preventing me from
working
at home.
