You actually need Alt+F9 to toggle field codes, F9 to update them.

it didn't work, F9 didn't toggle anything, after right clicking on the
field it allowed me to toggle the fieldcode. however i did not see, or
do not know any better way to do this. i tried to search for the field
and it came back empty.
i ended up just copying and pasting what i needed over 33 pages.
maybe next time
thanks!

If it has a grey background, it is probably a field. Use F9 to toggle
the
fieldcode on and from the fieldcode you should be able to see a better
way
of globally changing it. Alternatively, search for the field and replace
it.
