How to move or delete fields

You can move or delete any default fields just as you do with a standard Word document.  However, there are these exceptions:

...

• Don't use the space bar to delete a field (because the field may still remain in the field code view).

• Check you've moved or deleted your field correctly

The only way to be sure you've moved or deleted your field correctly is to look at the field code view. Use Alt+F9 (or Preferences > Authoring and Proofing Tools > View > Field Code on a Mac) to do this. The field code view will display your field code if you haven't moved or deleted it completely.
