Problem with variables in word template.

Unread post by northern »

Hello.
I need use about 20 different text variables in a word template. I have problem - about half variables show correct in a published word file. Rest of variables show as <%VARIABLENAME%>, apart from correct write in a template (correct variable name). What i doing wrong ?

To be able to use variables in Word templates you must insert them in the correct type of Word field. See here for instructions:
