Can you lock a field so it does not update?

by - trainer Sandy silver contributer[93 posts] (2007 Dec 4 Tue, 13:08) Edited on 2007 Dec 4 Tue, 13:09 replyReply

I wanted to know if it is possible to lock a field inserted into a Word document. We have a template which I do not have access to changing at my office. They have set the date up on automatic so when you create a new document based on the template the date always changes, even when you open the document 2 weeks later. Am I able to lock the date so that it remains on the date the document was created?

Yes you can lock the date - if you just highlight the date and press CTRL + F11 the date will now be locked and will not change.

To unlock if you need to, just select date and press CTRL + SHIFT + F11.

Word tip:

Rearrange Paragraphs Using Keystrokes

If you need to swap adjacent paragraphs in a document you're working on?

Click on the paragraph you'd like to move, hold down 'Shift-Alt' and use the up and down arrow keys to move the paragraph up or down.

Each press of the arrow key causes the selected paragraph to jump over one adjacent paragraph.
