Hi Carol - You are right that this is a way to get the codes to print, but
the original poster had the opposite problem - codes still printing when
display was showing text. That's a symptom of having the print option set to
include the codes - most mystifying if you didn't intend it g.

If a document is open and you toggle the field codes and print it, it will
print the text that you have toggled to show, not the field codes. It's
true
that if you save the document and re-open it the field codes will still
show
and you will have to toggle them again. But if you toggle them and print,
the text will definitely print. I have tested it. I'm not saying its the
best solution, only something that will work for you in a pinch - another
alternative if you will.

You can also right-click in the field and select Toggle Field codes.

news If I Insert Auto Text for a header or footer and choose Filename
and
Path
the
correct filename and path will appear on screen, but when I print
the
document (or choose Print Preview) the footer prints {FILENAME \p}.
The
same
file, when accessed from another computer, prints the footer
correctly.
I'm
stumped.
