Word 97 vs 2000 fields
I am a long time 97 user. I am trying to help someone
using 2000 create a template for work. I walked her through creating a template today (over the phone). When she tried to use the template though, none of the fields were saved with the template. The fields were there when she saved the template. These are just blank fields used as placeholders in the template to move from one heading to the next, not to pull data from elsewhere. What's in the newer versions that could make this happen? TIA |

Hi Lori,
What do you mean by "blank fields"? How were they inserted? Are you sure the fields are really gone (since you couldn't see the document)? How did you/she determine this? Are you absolutely certain she saved as a WORD DOCUMENT, and not in some other file format? That would be the first thought that occurs to me. I'm not aware of any general problem that would "lose" fields or any other document content when saving... I am a long time 97 user. I am trying to help someone using 2000 create a template for work.
