Why won't my fields update?
I suspect the field may have corrupted. Delete it and re-insert it.

I'm having a slightly different problem with field updates & hoping someone
can help. I created a document with "Insert Link". I was playing around
with some changes to make sure the F9 update worked. For some reason, when I
make a change in the source document & come back to the target, F9 is no long
working. What am I missing?

For some reason field won't update now in word for me. Page numbers,
table
of contents, figure lists, etc. instead of showing me the page, etc. I get
the field code, i.e. {PAGE} instead of {1}. I've tried updating fields
and
it doesn't fix it. This problem seems pervasive over any file I have in
word, i.e. if I open a new file and add page numbers, I get {PAGE}. If I
send my files to someone, my fields are fine. Please help!
