changing filled-in fields into regular text?
I have a Worddocument (Word in Office 2003) with a number of fields, both
general ones and fields with drop-down menus. When the document is imported into desktop-publishing programme InDesign, the general fields are read, but the menu-fields are ignored. InDesign doesn't seem to have solution for this. Therefore my question is whether Word offers a possibility to transfer menu-fields into regular text after the right option has been chosen. Preferably in one go, because it concerns many fields, but if it can be done one by one I will also be fairly happy indeed. Liesbeth Rijnierse, Utrecht Netherlands. |

Then click CTRL+a, then CTRL+SHIFT+F9 you will convert all fields to plain text. |

wow, didn't realise it could be this simple. Thanks!
I do wonder why Word Help didn't lead me to this answer, but that's another matter.
