Field code error when printing document
Hi
What is the problem when I have pasted slides from Powerpoint to Word and when I print the document the slide pictures turn into a message that I think in English is Can't edit field codes. If I try to translate it word by word it says You cannot edit objects by editing the field codes. The thing is that I haven't edited any field codes although I know what they are. Does it have to do how I paste the slide into word, I only use Copy – Paste? If I use Paste special and select Picture(enhanced metafile) it prints out fine. But why do I have to do it like that? |

Hi Olga,
Which version of Word is this? In Tools/Options/Print do you have field codes NOT activated? (If it is, try deactivating it) Also, you could try LOCKING the fields so that they can't update: select them, then press Ctrl+F11 (Ctrl+Shift+F11 unlocks). Finally, if you boot Windows in Safe Mode (so that third-party software isn't loaded, such as virus checkers) does the problem still occur, or does it go away?
