I have been successfully using QuickParts in templates that I am building for my company, up until yesterday. Yesterday, I was reformatting header and footer fields where the quick parts are located in forms to comply with change requests. I've been saving the changes in a Word document until I'm satisfied to save it as a Template. However, for some reason, no matter what I've attempted, when I enter changes to Document Properties in the Document Properties Panel, the QuickPart fields are not updating in my header and footer AFTER the save. Here is what I've tried:
- Removed and re-inserted the QuickParts from both the Header & Footer Tools Design tab and Insert tab
- Rebuilt the document from a template that does work
- Opened a new document and rebuilt
- Saved another word document that DOES work as a template, re-opened a new document and rebuilt, attaching the word document to the template (through Developer tab, Document Template).
- Entered a QuickParts field into the body of the document
Is there something I might have "turned off" in the process of doing my changes that I can easily reactivate? Was there a Windows update that somehow has affected QuickParts? Was there something in my building out the header and footers with tables that prevents an update after the save?
I'm not a developer so I don't know much about codes? Any help in layman's terms would be appreciated, as soon as practically possible, so that deadlines can be met. Thanks!!!
