header & trailer do not reflect the information selected e.g. fil.
I have added a header & trailer in my word document. It is not reflecting
the link but rather repeating the name e.g. Page PAGE of NUMPAGES or FILENAME. There is a block before FILENAME and a block after that. In previous versions it would have lined to my file name or also display e.g. Page 1 of 10 for the page number selection. I am using Office 2003. |

Press Alt+F9 to toggle the display from field codes to field results.

Hi Suzanne,
I have tried F9 and alt +F9 already, but it is still not updating the header or footer. I thought that it might be a setting but cannot find anything Thanks, mwelizeb "Suzanne S.

In that case, it would appear that someone has just typed in text instead of
inserting the required fields. Select PAGE and click on the Insert Page Number button to replace the text with a field. Repeat with Insert Number of Pages for NUMPAGES. Filename or Filename and path will be found on the AutoText menu. -- Suzanne S.

The problem that I do have is with the Insert Auto Text menu. When I am
selecting anyone of the options in that menu, it is not displaying correctly bt just display the text. "Suzanne S.

In that case, the AutoText has become corrupted. Do you still have the
problem if you start Word in Office Safe Mode (by holding the Ctrl key down as it loads) or by entering winword /a at the Start | Run prompt and pressing Enter? -- Suzanne S.
