Error! Main document only

S

Stephanie

Hi,

I have a few versions of a document I created in Word. After saving a new version today (by taking an older version saved under a different name, copying it, making changes and then saving it under a new name) I get on the printed version only, Error! Main document only. Now this only prints when I print it from my PC (it's a shared file).

Does anyone know what this means and how I can get rid of it?

Someone has inserted a field of a type that is not permitted in a header or
footer (or footnote). Press Alt+F9 to see what this field is, then replace
it with something else that will work (plain text if necessary).

I hit alt f9 and looked at it, and deleted the footnote all together and it still gives me the same message. I'm stumped. I think I'll just have someone else print it so it doesn't happen

Thanks for your help, Suzanne!
