Problems with InsertText field and formatting
Has anyone had any problems using the InsertText field?
Specifically our organization recently abandoned the master document feature to use the InsertText field instead. In the beginning it worked fine, but as we start working with larger documents (200 pages) we're noticing some discrepancies in the formatting. For example, graphics will resize themselves, fonts will reverse (bold goes plain and plain goes bold), numbering doesn't start with the correct number, and sometimes is indented. In all these circumstances the original document is accurate. Checked the knowledge base with no luck so I'm counting on someone to know the answer. Thanks! |

Problems with InsertText field and formatting
See responses in formatting.longdocs newsgroup. Please do not multipost.
-- In the Microsoft Word newsgroups it is considered bad form to post separate messages to multiple newsgroups. If you need to post in more than one forum (unusual) please post a single message with both forums in the header of that single message. That way (1) your question and the various answers stay together, (2) less space is used on the news servers, (3) less bandwidth is used on the Internet, (4) you only have to check one forum for answers that appear in both forums, and (5) you won't unnecessarily annoy the people you are asking for help. This isn't meant to criticize you. We were all beginners once and the only way to learn is to try. (BTW, a number of the Microsoft newsgroups don't want posting in more than one newsgroup, period. Check the FAQ.) Take a look on the MVP FAQ website under "getting help" for more reasons ase well as other suggestions for getting answers more easily and quickly.

Please post replies and questions to the newsgroup so that others can learn from my ignorance and your wisdom. "jill" wrote in message ... Has anyone had any problems using the InsertText field?
