I have documents with links attached. I just got this new computer, so i'm
resetting all my settings. When I open the documents I get the "do you want
to update links" message, but the link appears as the Pathname {LINK
Word.Document.8 "filename"} when I tried to copy that line from the document
it showed up in the clipboard as the actual linked document, but printed the
pathname. What am I missing?

addendum to my earlier request for information: when I switch to "reading
layout" view. it displays correctly.

ALT+F9 as indicated in my earlier post should toggle the display of fields
between construction and result. The Reading Layout view shows the result.
Does your keyboatd have dual functions for the F keys? If so have you set
the correct mode?
CTRL+SHIFT+F is by default assigned to Font?
On the basis that you may have reassigned your function key, the following
macro will toggle the display

Sub FieldCodes()
ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = Not ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes
End Sub
