Incorrect footer display in Word 2003

[LouErc]

I have a document with custom properties that are defined as fields in a
footer. For field A, lets say a custom document property has a value of 1.
I open up the Word document on a machine that has Word 2000. The value in
the footer says 1. So far so good. I open up the same document in Word
2003, and the custom document property has a value of 1, however, in the
footer, it displays a value of 2. When you Print the document, the field in
the footer is printed with a value of 1.

Why does Word 2003 not correctly display the footer field when in Word 2000,
the footers are correctly displayed?

Please ignore my other response. I just answered a PPT question here, so I
was in PPT mode and thinking I was in the PPT group. I'm losing my mind this
week, I swear!
