I cannot always replace the placeholder text with customized text. When I
save the document, some text reverts back to the placeholder text. Any suggestions as to why this is happening and what can be done about it? |

You inserted a type of content control; to delete it, just click the
placeholder text, right click and click Remove Content Control on the shortcut menu. "clc" wrote: I cannot always replace the placeholder text with customized text.

The content control is using a bound field from the document's properties.
IOW, what you type in the content control will automatically update the File Properties for the document and if you change the data in the File Properties the change will automatically be reflected in the content control. The reason the data is disappearing when you save is because a security option that removes personal information when you save your document is enabled. To rectify the issue, click the Office Button, click Word Options, click Trust Center, then the Trust Center Settings button. In the Privacy Options section deselect the "Remove personal information from file properties on save". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs "clc" wrote in message ...
