Fields only half-formatted
Hey all
I have a series of fields in my document serving as title/reference/date - that kind of thing. They look ok when they get put in but when they update, only half of each field is formatted. Hard to explain but a title like: In Search of Lost Time will come out like IN SEARCH OF lost time I've completely replaced them, I've formatted the document in the background and then put them in. I've put them in then selected the whole thing and formatted that. I've taken them out of the table they were in, in case that was an issue... at the end of my tether now Any ideas? |

Fields only half-formatted
Some switches (such as \* CHARFORMAT) added to field codes may pick up
formatting from the underlying text. Usually, though, such formatting would apply to the whole field result. In this case, it seems more likely that the problem is with the display. What do you see if you print or print preview the document? Alternatively, the problem could be that the document is damaged and needs to be recreated. What you can try is copy the entire content, minus the final paragraph mark, into a new, blank document and see if that overcomes the problem. To show/hide paragraph marks (¶) as well as other nonprinting marks, click the ¶ button on the Home tab.
