Default Word 2003 reading layout retains old data not seen in other layou.

We have a document that is updated regularly that shows old inforamtion only
in the "reading Layout" view. When viewed in any other layout it shows the
current data. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!

This doesn't sound right - the revision view you get (Final/Original
w/without markup) is usually the same in the Print Layout and Reading Layout
views - changing it in one view changes it for the other. Can you change
this setting (Reviewing toolbar dropdown) ?

I'm assuming here that the "old information" is there because you are
tracking changes. Another possibility is that you have the document
automatically saving versions - old version information can then sometimes
resurface if the document is corrupted.

Either way the best solution may be to treat the document as corrupt - see

hi Margaret,


thank you for the response! actually i believe i've found it, it looks like
it may be a nested cell. the header is a company logo with manager
information. that does NOT show up in the readying layout but does in all
other views. so i did a merge on the main cell and Presto! in popped the
other data!

now i just need to figure out how to get rid of it ;]

Thanks again!
jb
