Feilds in Writer not saving

Hello All

I created a form using writers input fields (ctl-F2) but the fields are not saving the information placed into them when the file is saved.

Anyone else having this prob? I have made many forms with input fields and never had this problem before.

Thx Dave

Strange workout though.
had to enter a regular user field first
then right next to insert it as an input field
then delete the user field

Weird but it worked. If any one else knows a different, better way let me know

Try defining a User Field by naming it and clicking the green check mark but not clicking Insert then change to Input Field and insert it.

I have a similar problem with .doc file forms sent to me to fill out. I can enter fields and check boxes but when i save it and email it back, or try reopening, a number of the fields are empty, but some are saved. Check boxes are never saved

I'm sure these are created by Office.

Anyone have a fix for this?

thanks
