Hi Guys,

I got a problem with updating the field in Word.
For example, when I try to update a cross-reference "Figure XX" in the document, the field will be updated but it will put the original figure in there as well. This means if I have three cross-references "Figure XX" in one paragraph (no figures), there will be three figures in the paragraph after updating the fields. It creates actual Figures with the cross-reference!

How do I solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Your description suggests you may be using 'Track Changes', which means both the original reference and the updated reference will be present until the changes are accepted/rejected.

Otherwise, without actually seeing the problem document, it can be difficult for anyone to diagnose the issue. Can you attach a document to a post with some representative data (delete anything sensitive)? You do this via the paperclip symbol on the 'Go Advanced' tab at the bottom of this screen.
