I'm using the Fill-in field code in my document header.
After I save the document and re-open it, Word does not
prompt for update. It keeps the old information. Switch
o\ is used and "Preserve formatting during updates" is un-
checked. What am I doing wrong! I've used this same form
on the older version of Word without a problem.

Thanks,

Keith
 
Which versions of Word are we talking about. I'm not aware of the behavior
of Fill-In fields changing since Word 97.

Put your field in a template, not a document. When you create a new document
based on the template, the field will update. Otherwise you can write macros
to update the field.
