Inserting a Cover Page - Word 2007
I have inserted a cover page into my document in Word 2007, but whenever I
key text into the placeholders for [Type Author Name] and [Type the Company Name], my own text disappears each time I attempt to save the cover page. The location placeholders change back to the default text. How can I keep the placeholders from restoring the default text? |

Inserting a Cover Page - Word 2007
Can't fathom why it's happening but to prevent it from happening, open the
document, reenter the text you want to replace the placeholder text, right click each place you've entered that key text and click Remove Content Control.

Inserting a Cover Page - Word 2007
Did you use the Document Inspector on the document or are you using a
template from the Template Gallery? In either case, there's a security/privacy option causing this issue. The controls you are using for Title, Author, etc are bound to the document properties. Word has a security option that will remove content from the file properties when you save the document so that's why it continues to disappear. To turn the option off: - Click the Office Button - Click Word Options - In the Trust Center section, click Trust Center Settings - Under Privacy Options, deselect "Remove personal information from file properties on save". Also, if using a template from the template gallery can you tell me which one you used? I've reported several templates that exhibit this behavior and want to make sure I didn't overlook any. :-) Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Inserting a Cover Page - Word 2007
While it may have worked, removing the Content Control isn't the necessarily
best solution. It might be, but by using the bound File Properties you have greater flexibly in your document. For example if you want to include the Title in the header, footer, on another page, etc, all you need to to is on the Insert tab, click Quick Parts, and insert the desired file property from Document Properties. Then to change the Title all you need to to is change it once in any of the content controls and it will automatically update throughout the document, and in the File Properties.

I, too, have had many students who have this same difficulty--thank you for
the suggestion. It seems there would be a better fix, than to delete the Content Control--but whatever it takes!

Inserting a Cover Page - Word 2007
Hi,
I have this exact same problem--saving my docx causes the author and title controls to be cleared. I want to make this work the right way rather than deleting the controls. It sounds like there's a solution from Beth Melton, but it apparently has been removed from this thread. BTW: GREAT book, Word 2007 Inside Out. Thanks.
