My file path in my word document is adding Filename on the start?

For some reason, all of a sudden when I insert a file name it is coming out
like this? Did I push a wrong button?

FILENAME \p S:\wp\FV\Mo-DV\Consultant\nda&assign-consultant (form).doc

The FILENAME/p should not be on it.... how do I fix it so this does not
happen?

thanks.
 
Hi Vicki,

If you're getting BOTH 'FILENAME \p' AND 'S:\wp\FV\Mo-DV\Consultant\nda&assign-consultant (form).doc', that suggests you've got both
a 'FILENAME \p' test-string and a filed coded as 'FILENAME \p. Try deleting the 'FILENAME \p textstring before the field.

If you're getting '{FILENAME \p}' instead of 'S:\wp\FV\Mo-DV\Consultant\nda&assign-consultant (form).doc', try pressing Alt-F9.
 
You probably have the option to select an entire field enabled. But you
should be able to click in the field syntax and use backspace to delete the
unwanted characters. To do this, however, you have to have the field code
displayed, using Alt+F9. I would suggest that it would probably be easier to
delete the entire field and create a new one from scratch.

Okay, how do I disable the option to select an entire field? Even if we
delete this in this particular document it continues in the next document...
seems to be in the program somewhere.
