[dba-Tech] FORM TEXT codes in word

Hi Bryan and Erwin,

In the locked document, the Tools|Options. . .|View Tab the Field Codes 
check box is not checked.  It appears empty and grayed.
In the imported locked document - that is the one I inserted into a 
fresh blank document - the FORMTEXT did appear, and, of course the Field 
Codes check box is checked.

My standard setting is to have the Field Codes check box checked - yet, 
when I open Erwin's locked document, I do not see FORMTEXT, I see the 
expected series of little cirlce place holders.  When I insert the 
locked document into a fresh document, the FORMTEXT does appear.

I will be very interested to know your user's result after following 
Bryan's excellent suggestion.

Tina
