The hypothesis that the magnetic fields of protoplanetary nebulae are generated deep in the core of the progenitor, an evolved M-type red giant, is explored. An examination of the transport of magnetic field lines through the convective envelope and of diffusion in the stellar wind/photosphere transition zone reveals values of about 10 G for the subphotospheric magnetic field and of about 2-3 G at the base of the stellar wind. The results are in agreement with the findings of Pascoli (1987) and Pascoli and Macron (1987).
