SYMPTOMS
========
In Danish Word 97, after you open and update a Danish Word 2000 document that
contains fields, the following error message may be displayed in your Word
document:
Unknown switch argument
CAUSE
=====
This problem occurs because the field switches contained in the fields in the
Danish Word 2000 document are in English (US) and are not translated into
Danish.
NOTE: Danish Word 97 uses English (US) field names but Danish field switches.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, turn on the field codes, and manually replace the
English (US) field switches with their Danish equivalents.
NOTE: To turn on field codes in your Word document, press ALT+F9.
