Mergeformat field code visible when opening document
I generally keep my "all formatting marks" (the para symbol icon) turned on....
In one numbered chapter document, the fieldcodes are visible when you open the document. I have to toggle the field to turn them off. No matter what I do to that doc., it always behaves that way. How do you set the opening so that the field codes are never displyed. I want it "clean" so that when someone else opens it, they see the clean version. -- Janet A. |

Mergeformat field code visible when opening document
Hi Janet,
Field code visibility can be toggled via Alt-F9. Whether a particular users sees the field code or its results depends on the toggle-state for their Word installation - not on anything in the document. You could try to enforce a particular view via an automatic macro included with the document, but that would require the user to have an appropriate security setting and to allow the macro to run. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Janet A.

I'm pretty sure I've togglede that and then saved but when I reopen, it
reverts to its original behavior and the field codes show. Thanks -- Janet A. "macropod" wrote: Hi Janet, Field code visibility can be toggled via Alt-F9.

In that case, go to Tools, Options, View tab and deselect the Show
Fieldcodes check box. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Janet A. Thompson" wrote in message ...
