This article was previously published under Q247144
SYMPTOMS
When you open documents that were created in a non-English (U.S.) version of Word 97, the following error message may appear when you update some fields:
CAUSE
This problem occurs because the list separator in the non-English (U.S.) version is a semicolon and the semicolon (;) is replaced with a comma (,) when the document is opened in Word 2000. This can cause a problem in fields. For example, if you use the following equation in a table
= sum(A1; A2)
Word converts it to the following:
= sum(A1, A2)
When the field is updated, the error message in the "Symptoms" section of this article appears.
