template won't work
We were given a name tag template which is basically a word document that we
fill in and print. You just open from the cd and save as to your desk top. It works on my computer and 2 other office computers but when we tried to put it on the one computer it won't work- you can save it and type in names but when you do a print or print preview it has the words format in all the areas we had put names. That computer operates with XP like all the others. We even put it up as a shared folder and she still can't use it. Any ideas? I mean it is just a plain word document that she can't seem to save and use? |

template won't work
It is the keyboard shortcut to toggle field codes. In itself, it wouldn't
have any effect (if "Field codes" were checked on the Print tab of Tools | Options, then toggling the *display* wouldn't make any difference), but if the label content were some kind of field, then being able to examine the underlying field code might help determine the problem. Odd things that show up at print time are often the result of field updating. -- Suzanne S.

Then have you tried Suzanne's suggestion to turn off the *printing* of field
codes? In Word 2003, it's on the Print tab of Tools | Options. If you are using Word 2007, click the Office button and then click Word Options. In the Advanced category, clear "Print field codes instead of their values" (under "Print"). Click OK to close the dialog box. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Lisa" wrote in message ... does not work "Graham Mayor" wrote: Just a guess - tell her to press ALT+F9! -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Lisa" wrote in message ...
