Shouldn't IF and SUM fields be updated when I choose Print Preview
I have a pretty simple document that has a couple of IF and SUM fields. I
have "Update fields before Printing" enabled in the Word 2007 options. Since a few days ago, the fields don't update when I choose Print Preview... they either remain blank, or once, the field tags appeared in Print Preview. When I actually print the document to the printer, all of the fields update correctly. Anyone ever seen this where Print Preview doesn't update fields, even thought "Update field before printing" is enabled? Any idea how to fix it? |

Shouldn't IF and SUM fields be updated when I choose Print Preview
I think the "Update fields before printing" option is to be interpreted
literally; that is, printing is required (and print preview is not sufficient). For more on updating fields in Word, see these KB articles: Which fields are updated when you open, repaginate, or print document http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211629/en-us Some fields are updated while other fields are not http://support.microsoft.com/kb/212054/en-us If you want a macro that updates fields for you, see the example in the article at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Denver Mike" wrote: I have a pretty simple document that has a couple of IF and SUM fields.
