Word 2007 Form fields duplicate when updated/refreshed
For this problem to occur, a document must be protected for forms and Track
Changes turned ON in €śFinal€ť display mode. Any {REF bookmark} form field that is in the document will duplicate itself when the form fields are refreshed. A refresh will occur when: printing, print previewing, right clicking on the field and selecting update, or via a refresh command in a vba script. Once Refreshed, the text of the form field will duplicate, causing repeated text in the document. This problem is intermittent, meaning that I can create a new document (via the procedure outlined below) and sometimes the problem will occur and sometimes it will not. Once a document has this problem, it will not go away. This problem seems similar to the problem outlined in KB119867, but that article does not specify word 2007 as having this problem. Steps to recreate problem: 1. Create a new blank document 2. Type the text: This is a test 3. Select the text from step 2 4. Select Insert tab from ribbon bar 5. Select bookmark from Links section 6. Enter TEST for the bookmark name and then press the ADD button 7. Position the cursor below the bookmarked text 8. Select Quckparts from the TEXT section 9. Select field€¦ 10. Shoose Ref from the field names list 11. Choose TEST from the bield properties bookmark name: 12. Click the OK button. 13. Select the Review tab from the ribbon bar. 14. Select the Track Changes from the tracking section 15. Change the revision to Final 16. Select Protect document from the protect section. 17. In the restrict formatting section, #2 editing restrictions chek the box €śallow only this type editing in the document€ť and choose €śFilling in forms€ť from the dropdown directly below it. 18. In the restrict formatting section, #3 Start enforcement, press the €śYes, start enforcing protection€ť button. 19. Click ok when prompted for a password. 20. Right click on the form field and select €śupdate field€ť 21. Again, right click on the form field and select €śupdate field€ť. You will now see the duplicate problem. Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated! |
