SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Word for Windows, updating a field or the result of a
field while the insertion point is positioned in the middle of the
field may cause the insertion point to move to an unexpected position.
If the field code itself is displayed and Field Codes is not chosen on
the View menu, when you update the field using the F9 key, the field
result displays and the insertion point moves to the beginning of the
result regardless of where it was positioned previously. If the field
code is displayed as a result of Field Codes being selected on the
View menu, then updating the field does not affect the position of the
insertion point.
If the result of a field code is displayed (rather than the field code
itself), when you update the field with the F9 key, the insertion point
moves to the end of the result regardless of where it was positioned
previously.
In all cases, if the insertion point is positioned at the beginning of
the field code, it remains in this position even after updating the
field with the F9 key.
