Word 2007 formatting from elements/fields disapear

P

L.s,

I use the Dutch version, so I hope I translated the menu's fine. Also i
wonder if this is the right group for this question?

I have made a template for users en put the new "besturingselementen"
elements where the user can put in text, in the template. I fount this on the
developer tab, group elements and then the new ones (not the old 2003 or
really old 1998).

I choose the element without formatting and set it up to "disappear" when
the user changes the default text. It works fine until here.

I want to mark the places where the user need to make changes, I mark the
default text which is in the field/element with the "yellow text marker". Now
the user can easily see where to make changes. What works really nice is that
when the user chances the text, the element AND the marking will disappear. I
don't know if this is intended or a "undocumented feature" but it's a great
option.

And now the big problem:
In my documents there are many elements when I change the marking for some
of them it's looking fine, but when a save, exit and reopen the file, the
marking for other elements is gone.

I tested for several hours but can't find some logic in it. I tried:
- change the marking in developer mode (yes/no). for the elements.
- In developer mode when changing the marking include/exclude the label
marking round the element (where the text you can put in as "label" is
placed).
- Give every element a unique label name
- etc.
It drives me really nut's, I can't find any logic.

Does anyone know a solution for this puzzle

Manny thanks

Peter
