Word prompts for info when printing 1

I've got a file that was originally created from a company template probably about 7 years ago. Since then, it has been updated and modified many times. It contains some features like cross references and bookmarks.

When I print this file, I get prompted for all kinds of information like "Project Name" and "Revision". It doesn't matter what I enter in these boxes (if anything), it doesn't affect the printout. This occurs in both Word 2002, 2003, and 2007. I can't figure out how to make this stop.

I've tried creating a new document, clearing all styles from the source document, copying and pasting into the new document, and reformatting, this didn't work.

I'm not too good with visual basic stuff, but I poked around in there and couldn't find anything that looked weird.

I tried using the document inspector to remove personal information in 2007, but that didn't help.

I broke some links to other files that were in there and resaved, that didn't work either.

Any suggestions on how to get rid of this prompting?
 
Hi,

Because of what is asked I can only guess that your predecessors have left a lot of {ASK .. ..}-fields in the file. You can either find the bookmarks or just hit Alt+F9 and look at the fields.

That was exactly right Markus4! Thank you thank you thank you.

My so-called "help desk" screwed around for a month before giving up and telling me to just live with it.

Oh, and in case I forgot to say it, thank you.
