Turn off Template Prompt!!
I created a document from a template. The template included form fields, and
every time documents created from that tmeplate are opened, the user is prompted to "type source information." This prompt comes up twice (for both places where the form field is) when the doc is opened and when you try to go to Print Preview. Anyway, I decided I no longer want these form fields in my new document. I deleted the fields, searched the doc for any more fields and found none. Still, the prompt "type source information" comes up every time I open the doc or try to go to print preview. Is there any way to turn this prompt off?? I have deleted the fields. I do not know what to do. Please help if you can!! |

Form fields don't usually prompt this way. Perhaps you have an ASK or FILLIN
field? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Mick_01" wrote in message ... I created a document from a template.

Turn off Template Prompt!!
I really didn't know there was much of a difference. Yes, I think it is
either an ASK or FILLIN field. In any case, I still deleted the field, and the prompt is still there. Thanks! "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Form fields don't usually prompt this way.

Go to Tools | Macro | Macros and see if there is an AutoOpen macro listed.

Sorry, Suzanne, but there are no macros listed at all.

Amazing! No macros at all? You must have been very diligent at resisting
add-ins. g Okay. Let's try another way. Press Alt+F9 so that field codes are displayed. Then set the browse object to Browse by Field (using the Select Browse Object button at the bottom of the vertical scroll bar) and, starting at the top of the document, click the down arrows (Next Field) to see if you can find any more ASK or FILLIN fields remaining in the document. -- Suzanne S.

Turn off Template Prompt!!
I know, I don't get it! Part of the problem is that I did not create this
original template. Not sure what they did. I followed your instructions, and it doesn't point me to any fields except for hyperlinks. It appears that the original 2 fields that initiated the prompt were Fill-In fields. Since I deleted those, it's not picking up anything else even though the prompt still comes up. I may just have to scrap this... If you have any more ideas, though, I certainly welcome it! Thank you so far... "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Amazing! No macros at all?

If you like, shoot the template to my email, and I'll take a look at it.

Turn off Template Prompt!!
Thank you for figuring this one out. Here was the solution Suzanne sent:
It took me a while to figure this one out, but you would have found the problem if you had set this template up the way it should be set up. Instead of inserting a section break at the end of the first page, you should use the "Different first page" setting for headers and footers (Layout tab of Page Setup) and put your "Continued" header in the primary Header, leaving the First Page Header blank. You'll need to put the footer text in both the Footer and the First Page Footer. If you had done this, you would have seen that there is a residual FILLIN field in the First Page Footer. Whenever an additional header and footer are created (by enabling "Different first page" or "Different odd and even"), Word remembers the content of that header and footer even when they are disabled. The message box was being triggered by the FILLIN field in the suppressed First Page Footer. So enable "Different first page" and delete it, and you should be home free! I appreciate this more than you know! "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: If you like, shoot the template to my email, and I'll take a look at it. -- Suzanne S.
