48511 2002-05-12 11:46:00 When I select view header footer Insert autotext insert file name and path I get some strange symbols like this

FILENAME \p

I have used this feature for years now in earlier copies of word.

How can I fix this?

Dont know if thats a 'sticky' setting or if there is a global setting somewhere that overrides what you see when applying - its not sticky in mine (W2000) and always reverts to the actual file name and path.

Go to tools-option, select the 'view' tab and deselect the 'field codes' option upper right side of the dialogue box.

Works here.

Cheers
