To see the field result, press Alt+F9, which is a shortcut for going to Tools Options View and clearing the Field Codes checkbox. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

The Field Codes box was unchecked, so the Alt+F9 did not do it. The thing
that is confusing me is, there are many computers here, but this is the only one not inserting the footer correctly. Just a note- none of the autotext options are working on this computer, using XP Pro and Office 2003.

Perhaps your Normal.dot has been overwritten with a document so that
AutoText entries are not available. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm -- Suzanne S.
