Hi,
I need to understand the Field funtion! The Help in word, has not shed much
light for me! Can any one refer me me to a website with an
overview/explaination?

Thanks
Jamie

You might look at the "Tables, fields, forms" tab at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/index.htm. It doesn't have any articles on fields
generally but offers help on specific fields. In general a field is a way of
inserting variable information. For example, a DATE field always returns the
current date. The PAGE field gives the current page number. If you look at
the Insert | Field dialog, you will see a list of available fields, and
Word's Help will provide information about how to use any specific one. Was
there one in particular you were interested in?
