Word Fields showing in PDF instead of contents
Hi I'm assuming this is a Word issue. I have been asked to help someone who opens a Word doc, fills in contents in fields then saves it as a PDF. This works for all his colleagues and me, but whe...
In Word, turn off the setting to print field codes. In Word for Windows, click File > Options > Advanced and clear the check mark next to "Print field codes instead of their values." See screen shot.
Does this happen only on your colleague's computer? Other people don't have a problem with printing/saving to PDF, even if they open the exact same document?
Depending on the type of fields, it may be necessary to turn off the printing of hidden text as well.
Sorry Stefan_Blom
That was a wild goose chase. He hadn't unticked about displaying Field codes instead of values. I'd asked him last week and he said he had, but only when I got the chance to connect remotely could I see that he hadn't!
thanks for your help
