Default LISTNUM field code prints unless I define it as hidden text

When you have field results displayed in the document, is the field code
still displayed? That is, does it look right in Print Layout view but still
wrong in Print Preview and on the printed page?

Hi Suzanne,

Thank you for your speedy reply. Unfortunately, it doesn't help me. :-(

All my field codes are shaded so that I can see where they are, and this

one
is definitely shaded. I didn't insert the braces manually and they are

within
the shading.

Here's what it looks like in my document and this is what prints:
0.

Here's what the code looks like when I press ALT + F9 (the letter after

the
first slash is an el):
{ LISTNUM \l 1 \s \0 }

Thanks in advance for any more ideas for resolving this issue!

I suspect it's not actually a field code but just plain text. Did you

insert
it using Insert | Field? Or did you use Ctrl+F9 to insert the field

braces?
The field delimiters, although they look like braces, can't be entered

from
the keyboard.

Hello,

The LISTNUM fieldcode prints unless I define it as hidden text. Is

this
normal? I am using Word 2003.

In case you are wondering, the Field Codes check box is not selected

on
the
Print tab in the Options dialog box.

Thank you!
