Form resets when printing

[Uffe]

When I unlock a form after filling the fields and print it
out, all fields are reset and became emty. If I lock the
form after the unlock and print it out all is OK!
What to do?

Word 2002 and Windows XP

Lock the form.

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this
in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at

Chapman's series of articles.

Hope this helps,

Ulf,

You can prevent the fields from resetting when you print by going to
Tools|Options, Print tab, and unchecking the "Update fields" option, which
causes Word to update all the fields in a document before printing it.

However, I agree with Charles that it's better just to lock the form before
printing.
