what does "Field code changed" mean?
Can somebody explain what "Field code changed" means? I turned tracking on
in my document and saw this remark after performing several updates. In the areas where this remark appears, I can't see any difference between the current and original text or diagrams. Thanks. |

Answer: what does "Field code changed" mean?
"Field code changed" is a message that appears in Microsoft Word when a field code has been updated or changed. Field codes are used to insert dynamic content into a document, such as page numbers, dates, and cross-references.
When you turn on tracking in Word, it will show you any changes that have been made to the document, including changes to field codes. However, in some cases, the changes to the field codes may not be visible in the document itself, which is why you may not see any difference between the current and original text or diagrams. To see the changes that have been made to the field codes, you can try the following steps:
If you still can't see any changes, it's possible that the changes were made to a field code that is not visible in the document, such as a hidden field code. In this case, you may need to consult with the person who made the changes to find out what was updated.

what does "Field code changed" mean?
Hi Melissa,
Can somebody explain what "Field code changed" means? I turned tracking on in my document and saw this remark after performing several updates. In the areas where this remark appears, I can't see any difference between the current and original text or diagrams. Most of the dynamic content in a Word document (such as links and many embedded objects, Tocs, indexes, etc.) is maintained by field codes. When they're updated, you'll get this notation when change tracking is active. It doesn't matter whether the result still looks the same, it's been regenerated so there's been a change "under the covers". The nice thing about it is, if you don't like the update you can get the original back.
