How do I shut off 'reveal codes' in Word?
If you see field codes such as {EMBED}, {HYPERLINK}, etc., then
press Alt+F9 to turn off display of field codes. If you see non-printing characters such as paragraph marks, dots between words, etc., then see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm . fgetulio wrote: I must have turned on the 'reveal codes' option in Word and now I don't know how to shut it off.

If you're referring to non-printing characters, click on the paragraph symbol
on your toolbar and it will turn them off or go to Tools | Options | View | Formatting marks and deselect them. "fgetulio" wrote: I must have turned on the 'reveal codes' option in Word and now I don't know how to shut it off. Can anyone help me |

"fgetulio" wrote in message ... I must have turned on the 'reveal codes' option in Word and now I don't know how to shut it off. Can anyone help me There is no such thing as "Reveal Codes" in Word. There is a Task Pane option to reveal formatting. Or perhaps, as stated in another reply, that you mean Show/Hide, represented by the Pilcrow on the Standard Tool Bar. This only displays non-printing characters used for some formatting tasks. Gordo |

"Reveal Codes" is in WordPerfect, and is something Word should have. With
it, it is easy to control formatting and saves a huge amount of time and effort. Aaron "gordo" wrote: "fgetulio" wrote in message ...

How do I shut off 'reveal codes' in Word?
Given that Word does not use 'codes' to format the document, but is style
based, revealing non-existent 'codes' might be difficult to achieve! -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Aaron wrote: "Reveal Codes" is in WordPerfect, and is something Word should have.

How do I shut off 'reveal codes' in Word?
To turn off the display of field codes such as {xe "Index entry"},
{HYPERLINK}, etc., * In Word 2007, select the Microsoft Office Button Word Options Display Hidden Text and/or Show All Formatting Marks. * In earlier versions of Word, select Tools Options View Hidden Text and/or All. Note both have other check boxes for paragraph marks etc. as mentioned below. Alt-F9 only toggles between text and field codes for field codes that are normally dispalyed as text, like page numbers, linked graphics, and table of contents. Alt-F9 doesn't display or hide hidden field codes like index entries that don't have any text to display. It would be nice if there was a keyboard shortcut to turn toggle those hidden entries. |

Only XE and TC fields are formatted as Hidden. HYPERLINK is an ordinary

You can toggle hidden text with a macro attached to a keyboard shortcut
Sub ShowHidden() With ActiveWindow.View .ShowHiddenText = Not .ShowHiddenText .ShowAll = False End With End Sub http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org radiodave wrote: To turn off the display of field codes such as {xe "Index entry"}, {HYPERLINK}, etc., * In Word 2007, select the Microsoft Office Button Word Options Display Hidden Text and/or Show All Formatting Marks. * In earlier versions of Word, select Tools Options View Hidden Text and/or All.

How do I shut off 'reveal codes' in Word?
Although the question is old, I will still answer it because it might help
someone else who is looking for it. There IS an option in Word 2007 to show or hide field codes, which I think is what this asker is looking for. It can be fixed by clicking on the Windows logo on the top left, then go to Word options, the Advanced, then under "Show document content" remove the checkmark from "Show field codes instead of their values". Good luck! "fgetulio" wrote: I must have turned on the 'reveal codes' option in Word and now I don't know how to shut it off. Can anyone help me |

I suspect what the user is actually asking about is nonprinting characters,
which are toggled with the Show/Hide ΒΆ button in Word 2007 as in previous versions. It's in the Paragraph group on the Home tab. -- Suzanne S.

Alternatively, you can use Alt+F9.
