Strange word behaviour
My word documents all of a sudden behave strangely: 1) all dates becomes
codes, something like {TIME/@ "dd MMMM yyyy"} 2) all internet hyperlink turned into codes 3) all page numbers appear as [page]. I copy the file on a memory stick and try it on another PC and it all looks fine. I tried reinstalling and also tried unstall it and reinstall it and it does not help. Does anyone know if it's a virus or a problem with the word software? Many thanks. |

Go to Tools / Options / View. Under the "Show" list, deselect the "field
codes" button then click OK. -- -JT "lchow" wrote: My word documents all of a sudden behave strangely: 1) all dates becomes codes, something like {TIME/@ "dd MMMM yyyy"} 2) all internet hyperlink turned into codes 3) all page numbers appear as [page].

Just press F9. That should toggle back and forth between displaying the field
codes and "normal."

I think you meant Alt+F9.
F9 updates selected fields. Alt+F9 toggles between field codes and field results (all fields in the document). Shift+F9 toggles field codes of selected field(s) only. -- Regards Lene Fredborg - Microsoft MVP (Word) DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Idaho Word Man" wrote: Just press F9.
