TITLE Field in Subdocument Displays Master Document FilenameLast reviewed: February 5, 1998Article ID: Q119818 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSA TITLE field in a Word for Windows subdocument displays the filename of the master document when you open the subdocument from within the master document. Note: The behavior of the TITLE field in a subdocument is inconsistent with that of the AUTHOR field, in which Word retains the subdocument value of the AUTHOR field, even when you open the subdocument from within the master document.
STATUSWe are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
WORKAROUNDSMethod 1: Lock or Unlink the TITLE field.
a. Open the subdocument as a standalone document (in other words, do not open it from within the master document). b. Update the TITLE field so it displays the title of the subdocument. c. Lock the field by selecting it and pressing CTRL+F11, or by adding the Lock Result (\!) switch to the field, as shown in the following sample: { TITLE \! } -or- Unlink the field by selecting it and pressing CTRL+SHIFT+F9.Method 2: Instead of inserting the TITLE field, type the title of each subdocument somewhere near the top of each subdocument and format the text using a style that applies white color font formatting. Then use a STYLEREF field to display the title text in the subdocument. For example, use a style named Title to apply white font formatting to the title (which makes the text invisible in the document). Then insert the following field in the subdocument where you want the title to appear: { STYLEREF "Title" } REFERENCES"Microsoft Word User's Guide," version 6.0, pages 538-541
