File Name & Path Error
Every time I try to insert the File Name & Path via the Header/Footer Insert
Function in Word the file name and path displays odd looking text...none of which resembles anything legible. I also get the same showing up in Excel. Currently operating off our company's server so I'm not sure if its a setting within Word or a server setting. |

File Name & Path Error
Perhaps you're seeing the field code? What happens if you press Alt+F9?

File Name & Path Error
Suzanne, thanks for getting back to me on this. Alt+F9 didn't work. What
displays is are a set of boxes and numbers, more boxes than numbers. Our IT people are stumped. Reinstalled my profile on the LAN server and client box, still can't seem to find a fix for it. I'll have to try the same function on a co-workers client box to see if the same thing is happening. Any assistance is welcomed. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Perhaps you're seeing the field code?

File Name & Path Error
Was the header/footer created in a font that's currently unavailable? What
happens if you start in Office Safe Mode? -- Suzanne S.

File Name & Path Error
If you're seeing the same thing in Footer File names in both Word and Excel
(and only in file names) it suggests that the problem is in the file names themselves rather than the presentation by the Office applications. Can you see the file names correctly elsewhere (the Title Bar, say)? Do you see similar odd characters in other data added to Footers? -- Enjoy, Tony "Fisher4" wrote in message ...

Tony, This problem is isolated to footer/header function in Word and Excel.
The Title Bar displays the name of the document just fine. I can add data to header/footer which save to the document just fine. It's only the auto insert function in the header/footer for file name and path that don't display properly.

I have no idea of the source of the Word Filename Field or the Excel &[File]
but I doubt it differs from what is shown in the Title bar suggesting a presentation issue rather than a data issue. If you change the font in either Word or Excel footers do you still see the problem? -- Enjoy, Tony "Fisher4" wrote in message ...
