Fill-In Field Updates Prompts when in Header or Footer?
Hello All,
I'm having a problem with a Word2003 template. When I add a Fill-In field within a document, it won't prompt me for it's value unless I update it automatically. This is how I want it. When I have a Fill-In field in a header or footer, it prompts me for its value every time I print or Print Preview. Is there anyway to prevent this for the header and/or footer? Thanks! |

Answered in vba.general. Please do not multi-post. In the Microsoft Word
newsgroups it is considered bad form to post separate messages to multiple newsgroups. If you need to post in more than one forum (unusual) please post a single message with both forums in the header of that single message. That way (1) your question and the various answers stay together, (2) less space is used on the news servers, (3) less bandwidth is used on the Internet, (4) you only have to check one forum for answers that appear in both forums, and (5) you won't unnecessarily annoy the people you are asking for help. This isn't meant to criticize you. We were all beginners once and the only way to learn is to try. (BTW, a number of the Microsoft newsgroups don't want posting in more than one newsgroup, period. Check the FAQ.) Take a look on the MVP FAQ website under "getting help" for more reasons ase well as other suggestions for getting answers more easily and quickly.
