F9 to update fill in fields
In prior versions of MS Word I could click on a Fill-in Field and hit F9 and
a box would pop up to enter my information in. That no longer works. Is there a different method used in Office 2007 to get that to work?

F9 to update fill in fields
Hi Jeanneb,
The F9 approach still works in Word 2007. Are you sure you haven't locked the field (Ctrl-F11)? You can unlock it via Ctrl-Shift-F11. -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "Jeanneb" wrote in message ...

F9 to update fill in fields
Hi macropod,
I too am having the same problem as Jeaneb, I've tried your suggestion of Ctrl-F11 to no avail. Its been so long since i've used these prompts that i can't really remember if i'm typing the correct words - this is what i have been doing: Ctrl F9 to get the { } up. Typing: Fillin, "Date" within { } Am i using the wrong words - is this why i'm not getting the prompt boxes? Any help would be much appreciated i really miss this way of doing things.

F9 to update fill in fields
Hi Martina,
The process you're describing seems correct, except that ther should not be a comma after 'FILLIN'. After creating the field, selecting and pressing F9 should generate the prompt. -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "Martina" wrote in message ...
