Updating fields and links before printing ...
Hi folks,
I am developing a template user guide and have made extensive use of form fields for user input. On the front page of the guide I have included form fields for Document type, Document title, Document Sub-title, Name of company, Name of Department. All of these are defined with a Style name and I use StyleRef fields throughout the document to have the text auto-filled from the entries on the cover. This is my question: As soon as I have completed the front cover I notice that the Title and Sub-title are automatically included in the header BUT not in the body of the text. Also, none of the other fields are included until I press Print Preview. The only help I can find in Word is what I have done already, namely check Update Fields and Update links under Tools/ Options. Is this normal? If yes, and the user must do something, is there a better option than Print Preview? I am using Word XP. Thanks for any enlightenment! Sharon |
