Word 2007 Document Properties (gone wrong)

Question

I have copied a document which contains some properties which are displayed in fields in the text. Specifically the "Subject" property.

If I update the properties in "Menu > Prepare > Properties", then navigate to the field in my document, right-click it and select "Update Field", I would expect the field in my document to be updated with the new value that was entered in the menu, but the opposite is happening. Is there some strange voodoo going on here?

Answer 1

Which version of Word are you using? I tested your situation in Word 2003 and the field in the document is updated with the new value entered in the document properties. So something else is happening here...
