Prevent Auto Update on Fields when opening document
Is there a shortcut key where I can disable all fields from updating while
opening a document? I have a date field that will change and we can't open the file without it changing. I know some programs you can hold the shift key down and it will prevent some things from loading. We have Office 2003 sp3. |

Prevent Auto Update on Fields when opening document
Replace the DATE (or TIME) field with a CREATEDATE field, which
reflects the date the document was created: Open the document, and press Alt+F9 to display field codes. Your date will appear similar to: { DATE \@ "MM/dd/yy" }. Replace the DATE (or TIME) part with CREATEDATE, press F9, and then press Alt+F9 again. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "emom" wrote in message ...

Date fields are supposed to show the system date of the PC. Change the date
field to a createdate field and it will maintain the creation date of the document. Put a createdate in the document template to avoid this in future documents based on that template. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org emom wrote: Is there a shortcut key where I can disable all fields from updating while opening a document?
