Puzzle re: %TITLE% not propagating in Word

Unread post by Dave Gehman »

H+M: 7.3.2. build 4360
Windows 10 Pro 64
Word 2010
Skin/template: Word-Template-Text-Indent-US.docx

Word DOCX output has the title on the title page, but in the body of the document, instead of the title at the upper left, it has only <%TITLE%>

The title is in the "Help Title" input box on the Project > Configuration > Title & Copyright input screen.

Neither the words in the text box in Configuration nor the <%TITLE%> field in Word was added by me.

Not sure where else I might have entered it, but as far as I know, I let H+M do its thing, even down to providing the name for the project file... also, I just plugged in the template - I didn't edit the template.

Hi Dave,

Please mail a small demo project and a copy of the Word template file you're using to support AT ec-software.com (replace the AT with @) and we'll check it.
