I don't use ListNum-Legal fields so I'm not sure but typing any text inside a field result will result in something that reverts to the field result when the field is updated.



I always turn off the user options that updates the fields before printing or when opening - I like to have control of when the fields are updated.

If you want to retain the fields but change their result manually, you could always lock the field but it would be better to sort out the reason it is changing to 1. Do you want to post a sample document so we can see how you have done your numbering and the xRefs to them.

Thank you. That is a great idea.

The 1. Before the name of the text just started happening, this process worked fine for years. I don't think I can lock it as you, Guessed, mentioned because ultimately it is saved in PDF and printed.

Thanks anyone with ideas!!

Dcoument attached.

If you lock the field, it will not update when you save as pdf or print. You could also unlink the field (change it to text so it is no longer a field). Locking it has the advantage that you can later unlock it and update if needed.
