auto text in header & footer not displayed correctly
I am using Officed 2003. When I tried to use the autotex inthe header and
foot, the selection is not displaying correctly. I have uninstalled office 2003 and re-installed it again but it is still not displaying the correct information e.g. I have selected createdd by, instead of reflecting the autor's detail it reflects: Created by AUTHOR . The same happens to all the entries that can be found under the auto text. Please help |

You are seeing the field codes instead of the field result. Press Alt+F9 to
toggle the display. And please, for future reference, note that uninstalling and reinstalling Office apps is a huge waste of time, as it does not overwrite any of your personal settings and consequently will not correct problems of this nature, simple though they may be. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Suzanne,
I have tried it. Normally when I am seeing the field codes it will have {author} and by right click and select toggle one will be albe to see thecorrect value, but when it has the block in front, it is not changing at all and one can also not toggle the field codes. I also do get a lot of errors when saving and sometimes it hten goes into safe mode. When this happens I can see the correct values when selecting the auto text. "Suzanne S.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm. It sounds as
if renaming Normal.dot may be required. -- Suzanne S.
