Continual problem with IPTC subject field

Okay, I have made my subject list and saved it in Notepad with the utf-8 file type and I've brought it into PM. The list(s) show up just fine.

But when I enter the coded text into the caption area (ex: /mkj32/), it never changes in the caption box.

I've included one of the list here. Please check it over and let me know what else to do.

It looks like you're trying to use Code Replacement.  Are you loading your text file into the Code Replacement dialog?

Yes,
I'm setting them under the "Edit" menu, "Set Code Replacements", delimiter is default.
Under the "IPTC Stationary Pad", I'm checking the "IPTC Subject Code" box, clicking on the drop down menu, clicking on the code I want, then in the caption box, I'm entering the code (ex: /mkj64/) plus some text describing the action.
When I finish entering the text box (under Caption). everything is just as I entered it, there is no name substitution. When I click open the info tab again, the Caption box is still the same, with the code there, not a substituted name.

What delimiter are you using in the Code Replacement dialog?  The backslash ( '\' ) is the default and I see that you're using a forward slash ( '/' ) which could explain why Code Replacement isn't working for you.

HTH,

Wow... you're good...REEEEALLY good!

I suspect my dyslexia snapped in! I don't know how many times I checked that and it just looked correct!

All is good now, thank you!
