I put the field RevNum in and it starts at 8. I need it to start at 0
(zero). Is there any way that I can to this?

Save the file as XML. go to Tools/Options/General and activate "Confirm Conversions
on open". Now open the file, and when it prompts you for the file format, choose
"plain text". Look for the Revision number property (it may take some time and
patience!), and you can change it. It will look something like this
RevNumber8/RevNumber. You change what's between and

Save, close and re-open (this time as an XML document) and you should be able to
resave as a Word Document.
