Default troubleshoot fill in field

have fill in field set in a word template that is repeating itself. when i
go to create a new doc:

1 - grey background, prompt for fill field 1 comes up, then prompt for fill
field 2
2 - (view 'refreshes')
3 - white background shows, then prompt 1 comes up, then prompt 2.... again...

there are only the two fields, no bookmarks, no switches. i had switches in
there, both the 'default' and the 'one time', and tried deleting the one, and
then the other, then both, with no change. still prompts for field 1 then
field 2 twice.

Default troubleshoot fill in field

Hi awadmin,

Is either field nested inside another? Where in the document are the fields located (body, header, footer, textbox, etc)?

Default troubleshoot fill in field

Hi Macropod,

As far as I can tell, there are no nested fields. I have toggled codes and
see nothing that would indicate that. Field 1 is in the header, and field 2
is in the footer.

Is that why?
