Updating data in Fields

K

Krishna

Using Word 2007
updating a document, that could have been created in 2003.
There's a field in the doc that says April 2007 - I changed it to April 2008
without deleting field codes.
When I save it, it does not get saved with new date.

So, I have gone to Edit field by right clicking on date field.
It takes me to Field dialog box with ReleaseDate field property highlighted.
But, I cannot see any field options for it.
I clicked on Field codes button but it just says DOCPROPERTY ReleaseDate
If I click Options button in Field dialog, it still has DOCPROPERTY
ReleaseDate but nothing to edit the actual value.

How do I get around this?

Thanks.

You have a Docproperty field calling the document property ReleaseDate. From
the file open dialog, select the document in question then from the tools
button (lower left) select Properties. Change the ReleaseDate field content
to whatever you require.
