open word templates

[nigel]

Hi everyone,

 

Does anyone know if there is an easy way to alter a keyword that has already been entered into an open word template?

 

I have put in the template an "if " command, but I want to alter the case type for when it prints, and also to alter the context of the "if" command. I could just delete and replace it, but the document is quite complicated and i would rather not do this. Any ideas?

Hi Nigel

 

You can right click the keyword / IF command and use "Edit Field". This will allow you to manually edit the content - but can be a bit flakey and of course, there is no validation at this point. I often use this method - for the reasons you have mentioned - but have had issues on occasion. Save a copy and give it a go

 

Hope this helps

Thanks Mark,

 

I had tried this but it didnt seem to work. I will try again and see if I have any more luck.

I usually take out and put back in, as Mark said, can be 'flakey' when editing. You can however remove the new else/endif and leave the existing ones in place.

Thanks Karl,

 

I will try that as well.
