Incorrect footer display in Word 2003

I have a document with custom properties that are defined as fields in a
footer. For field A, lets say a custom document property has a value of 1.
I open up the Word document on a machine that has Word 2000. The value in
the footer says 1. So far so good. I open up the same document in Word
2003, and the custom document property has a value of 1, however, in the
footer, it displays a value of 2. When you Print the document, the field in
the footer is printed with a value of 1.

Why does Word 2003 not correctly display the footer field when in Word 2000,
the footers are correctly displayed?

You've ended up in the PPT group by mistake. Please post your question to
one of the Word groups.

Please ignore my other response. I just answered a PPT question here, so I
was in PPT mode and thinking I was in the PPT group. I'm losing my mind this
week, I swear!
