already tried that, no luck.
Worth checking that /all/ the different settings including the "list
separator" were different?
Besides, it's happening with
page numbers, which are not decimals. Or will it have the
same effect?
I can generate the error here even with
{ = 0 }
so the fact that Word does not need to display any of these characters is
apparently not relevant.
I don't have any further ideas on this one at the moment, other than that I
would verify that the problem is occurring with the simplest possible test
document (e.g. with just { = 0 } in it, or some such, and if not, check that
all the characters are what they seem to be & in the fonts you expect, that
there are no hidden characters such as no-width spaces, and that Word is not
"autocorrecting" something while you're not looking.

You could try the following - they are both to do with
the settings for the
"decimal separator" in regional options, which could
explain why only one
machine is going wrong:

When I enter any field with a formula (example
subtracting
a number from NUMPAGES), the result of the formula is
!Invalid Character Setting
This happens one one machine only - the same document
gives correct result when opened from another machine.
Any ideas?
