Template formats

[Guest]

I created two templates; each with pause stops. I changed some of the words
in the template to a blue font. When I use the templates, one retains the
blue font; the other doesn't. Any explanation.

What are "pause stops"?

Pause stops are items in a document that are formatted as such: < -Enter
data here> (or at least I call them pause stops). You press F9 and the
cursor automatically goes to the next pause stop. In my template all of my
pause stops are in blue, however the blue font does not carry over to the
document itself.

F9? That is the key to update fields. Perhaps F11?

See http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/fields.htm#MacroButton and
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/UsingMacroButton.htm for more
about macrobutton fields.

If they are something like MacroButton NoMacro fields, you can jump from one
to the next with F11. If you're using F9, I wonder if you're actually using
Word. This sounds more like WordPerfect.

Or maybe Word with some Compatibility Options set to WP?

PS: I wouldn't know since I was never tempted enough to use these ...

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

I wondered about that, too.
