"Fields are nested too deeply"

[Beth Melton]

Hi Brenda,

Have you tried pressing Alt + F9 to toggle the field codes to see if
there are several fields accidentally inserted into one field?

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for

Word 97, using a locked template with text fields and spell checking

macro

When document is opened the message in the subject line keeps

appearing and

user cannot make modifications to the document. First appeared

after user

either ran the spell check macro or attempted to manually make a

change.

User has used this template for a long time without incident.
Have tried inserting document into a clean document, Opening

document as

copy, and Recover Text from Document. Recover text converts to RTF

and

results are not acceptable. Other options are unsuccessful at

allowing

modification. Any other ideas on how we can eliminate this error

message?

TIA!

Between a million clicks of "OK" I have been able to scroll through the
document with the mouse wheel and do not see any fields inserted within
fields that are evident. It is hard to do anything because the error
"Fields nested too deeply" keeps popping up. Have tried inserting into a
new document with no change and have opened by Recover Text but that does
not help because most of the document is in a table format.

This is a table with fields, obviously, but interestingly it is NOT
protected as I would have predicted. The document is 15 pages and the user
REALLY REALLY does not want to start over again. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I finally got this document to work by LINKING it to a new document. The
fields were lost but the data within them were retained, which is
sufficient. Thanks for the help.
