From: Lydia on
I do not want Word 2007 to update the fields before I print a particular 500
page document so I have cleared the checkbox (Word Options/Display/Printing
Options). Even with this check box cleared, Word still goes through the
motions of updating the fields. I need this option turned off or it takes
several minutes just to print one page. Is there another location to turn off
the update fields in Word 2007?

You can lock the fields to prevent them from updating. To lock all fields in
the selection, press Ctrl+F11. (Later, if you want to unlock the selected
fields, use Ctrl+Shift+F11.)

Note that if you have fields in the headers and/or footers, you will have to
select and lock those fields separately.
