Autotext insert into footers no longer works in Word 2003
I have previously inserted the file name & path in Word 2003 documents but it
no longer works. When inserting it comes up with " FILENAME \p " I tried to detect & repair but that has not helped. The next step is to completely reinstall Word 2003 but I would only do that as a last resort as I don't like MS policy on activation codes even though I have legitimate MS Office software. |

Reinstalling will not help. You have most likely saved a document as
Normal.dot. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm -- Suzanne S.

Autotext insert into footers no longer works in Word 2003
Thanks for the response, this is the first time I have resorted to a
discussion group. I have tried inserting it into several other documents that already had that field and also including new Word documents with all being ..doc. I even tried it in Excel and it works fine but not in Word. PS I liked your article on Normal.dot "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Reinstalling will not help.

The point of the article is you probably need to regenerate your normal.dot.

Unless I have completely misread what you are saying - it appears that you
have the field view toggled.
