I am using Office 2011 (Norwegian version) for Mac, and I am trying to enter field codes. Every manually input field code so far is failing, whereas the ones I enter using Insert->Field->...
is working.
- This does not work: Cmd+F9, entering PAGE into the brackets.
- This works: insert field -> PAGE
The result of both these is { PAGE } when viewing field codes (Opt+F9). Visually alike, yet only one is working. This is very inconsistent, and also makes working with conditional field codes impossible.
Image from running program in View Field Code mode:
Image from running program in Hide Field Code mode:
Example of stuff I cannot enter:
{ IF{ =MOD({PAGE}, 2) } = 0 "even" "odd"}
(Just an example - I know this is possible via the GUI).
How can I work around this? Is there some kind of "trick" to entering field codes in the mac version of office?
