How do I prevent field codes from displaying on merging?
I assist in developing a Case Management system for a law firm. We have over
4000 precedent documents and have recently moved over to using Word Automation to produce the documents. Since using Word Automation, users are finding that their documents merge displaying all the field codes and they have to ALT+F9 to hide the codes (unfortunately many users don't know this key combination). We don't want to remove the field codes so CTRL+SHIFT+F9 or something similar isn't a solution. I was informed by the company that support our Case Management system that this is caused by the field codes being displayed when the precedent document was last saved. However, I have tested this and when field codes were revealed in the precedent, my test document merged fine without showing field codes. This appears to be rather intermittent - anyone have any ideas on a) what causes this and b) how I can stop it? Many thanks -- Helbel78 |

Thanks Carol but all users already have this setting deselected and yet the
fields still appear when the document is merged. -- Helbel78 "Carol" wrote: Tools | Options | View | deselect Field Codes. -- Carol A.
