In Tools | Customize, click the Keyboard button. Place the cursor in
the "Press new shortcut key" box; Alt+F9 should be assigned to
ViewFieldCodes, and Ctrl+F9 should be assigned to InsertFieldChars. If
you see something different, that explains why it isn't working for
you. You can reassign the commands, after which they should work
properly.

That is my problem - when I press ALT F9 nothing happens. I can
select the
"Toggle Field Codes" against individual line items in the contents,
but not
see the code for the whole field (ie the tutorial has what the code
should
be, but all i can see are individual line codes
{HYPERLINK.\1."Toc148850471".}

Alt+F9 should display the field code for the existing TOC. Ctrl+F9
inserts a
blank field for you to create something from scratch. You should
see { }
with the insertion point in the middle of the space between the
braces,
waiting for you to type your field syntax. If you don't know what
to type,
you're better off using Insert | Field to do this or, in the case
of a TOC,
Insert | Reference | Index and Tables, just as you did with the
first TOC.

I am trying to create multiple TOC's within the Practice word
document,
provided in the training section for Microsoft Word.
I can do everything up to Step 3: Create a second TOC step 3 -
"Press
ALT+F9
to see the field codes..." and step 4 "Press CTRL + F) to insert
a blank
field..."
The cursor is on the second line beneath the existing TOC as
instructed.
When I press "ALT+F9" or "CRTL+F9" nothing happens. I am
assuming at each
step the keys are held down together (ie ALT key and the F9 key
are
pressed
simultaneously or rather, the ALT key is held down while I press
the F9
key).
Do I need to have some sort of add in put into word, or somehow
set up the
short cut? How do I fix this so I am manually able to insert a
table.
thanks
