Overview:
A Word document has Track Changes enabled. It is uploaded to Vault. Field Code Changed rows are added into the Table of Contents on the viewable rendition for the Word document.
- Track Changes is enabled in Word
- Viewable Rendition
Root Cause:
The Microsoft Word Source Document is created by copying content from another Microsoft Word Source Document and pasting it into this document. The copy/paste allows the document content to be copied over, but it does not allow any of the relationships and document variables to be copied over, including the components of these Merge Field tokens.
As a result, it just copies over the Merge Field value from the previous source and not the Merge Field token/references, making it invalid. Since that reference is no longer valid, it is rendering as a Track change or is rendering as blank.
Solution:
To fix this issue, users need to completely delete the value that has the issue with the Table of Contents. Also, delete its corresponding document variables or merge field formula where used in the document. Use the following steps to do so：
-
Double click on this value, right-click, select Toggle Field Codes to see the invalid Merge Field token.
2. Delete the invalid merge field values and tokens, then re-create the Merge Field formula.
3. Save and re-upload the document to Vault.
