Suddenly all hyperlinks are REFs
Today I changed a footer to start at page 331 instead of at page 115. (Good
for me.) Now everything I touch opens with all hyperlinks toggled to REFs. I can do CTRL+A, and then SHIFT+F9 to toggle the text back, but I also have to view footers and go to every section, highlight {PAGE}, and do the same commands to toggle the page numbers so they read as numbers. 1) Why suddenly are all my Word docs opening with all the hyperlinks toggled to REFs? What did I do? 2) How can I get things back to the way they were before (when I opened any Word document, the hyperlinks were text that made sense to me, and page numbers were numbers)? 3) If I cant fix this, how can I toggle everything back to hyperlinks in one swoop (text and all footers, or at least be able to do all footers in one swoop instead of having to hit every new section)? Im using Word 2002 on XP. Thanks! |

Press Alt+F9 to toggle all the field codes. And make sure that field codes
are toggled off in the window from which you open the document. Or, in Tools | Options | View, clear the check box for "Field codes." -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne, thank you.
Alt+F9 is great. I also see your suggestion with ToolsOptionsView and clearing the Field codes checkbox. Please explain what you mean by, "make sure that field codes are toggled off in the window from which you open the document." Thnaks very much. "Suzanne S.

This is a peculiarity of recent versions of Word. You can have a document
open in, let us say, Window 1. You open another document in Window 2, leaving Window 1 open. In Window 2, you make a change in the view (displaying field codes or nonprinting characters, for example). This doesn't affect Window 1. But if you open another document from Window 2 (or even after you've closed the document in Window 2, it seems to me), then the new document opens with the settings you were using in Window 2. I can't be more specific than that, except to say that it's bitten me more than once. -- Suzanne S.
