Hi Carol,

If you start a new blank document and use Ctrl+K and select the 'Email address' box on the left of that dialog and set separate
entries for the Display text, screen tip and the email address, and then [ok] do you get the same problem in that document when you
use Alt+F9?

What is the font you're using and what is the proofing language set for the text that contains the field?

Thx. for responses. It's Word 2003. Tools/options/field codes is not checked.
As far as I can tell it's just one document. I'm getting squares, not
brackets. The font I'm using does have the capability of showing brackets.
Any other suggestions?
