Inlcludetext field

[Tricia]

We have software which outputs to Microsft Word 2000
docuemnts. The documents are letters which have
an "includetext" field in the footer.

For most users, when they print the letter, the included
text is updated because their print options are set to
update fields when printing.

Two users, however, find, when they print the letter, that
the field has not updated and have to right click the
field to update it or press F9 on it. They definitely
have update fields ticked in the print options.

Any ideas what the difference could be?

Hi Tricia,

perhaps a difference in the printer driver? Or maybe a
different Service packs?

I replied to another post on your issue somewhere but I don't recall
the specific newsgroup.

I suspect it has to do with Word Field Security. Find your other post
and see if modifying the Word Field Security resolves the issue.
