1292001 2012-08-01 02:44:00 I receive a Microsoft Word form from an organization.
When I go to print - it prints the associated fields from the organization
and not the data that was entered in the fields
ie: <%=purchaseOrder.getVendorName(page Context)%>

I have:
- saved the document to the desktop: same problem
- copied to another computer: prints normal
- installed & opened & print with Open Office: print normal
- uninstalled & re-installed Microsoft Office: no change , still prints the fields

any suggestions of how to correct this?

Thank you

1292002 2012-08-01 03:25:00 What version of Word are you using ?

Have you tried saving as PDF - does it save the entered text ?

Saving as pdf does same thing: <%=purchaseOrder.getVendorName(page Context)%>

1292004 2012-08-02 03:24:00 anyone have any further thoughts on this? NZHawk (4093)
1292005 2012-08-02 04:38:00 Find and rename Normal.dot to Normal.old and try again see if that changes anything.

Save the old Normal.dot this way so you can change back if necessary because you have special setups etc.

1292006 2012-08-02 04:39:00 Been thinking about it :)

Have a read / Fiddle with the following instructions askdrexel.drexel.edu


Just looked at mine Word 2010- check to see what options you have.

May or may not be of any help.

1292009 2012-08-02 08:37:00 Assume that means its working as it should now ?

If so, amazing what trouble a single tick can do :)

1292010 2012-08-02 09:03:00 no sorry didn't explain clearly,
when I check the setting it was already cleared.
so problem still exists.

we need to ponder a little more.
