Index field codes appear even when Hidden Text is turned off
Hello everyone. When I open my manual (created in Word 2003), the Index field
codes appear. I then select Options from the Tools menu and uncheck Hidden Text. My Index field codes disappear, and I save and close the document. However, when I reopen the document, the Index field codes appear once again, and I see that Hidden Text is check. It's as if I never made and saved changes. This is very frustrating since I have to explain to my reviewers that this is a problem that I cannot resolve. Has anyone come across this problem? If so, please provide any suggestions. Thank you in advance for your help. Karl |

This may be affected by the "Hidden markup" setting on the Security tab of
Tools | Options. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne,
Thank you, but unfortunately, it did not work. The Hidden Markup setting under the Security tab was checked; however, the Index field codes still appear when I reopen the document. The interesting thing is that I now have to uncheck Hidden Text (under Tools Options) twice to clear the Index field codes. I think we're on to something. Do you think my document is corrupt?

That was my point. Try *clearing* the check box on the Security tab and see
if that makes a difference. -- Suzanne S.
