Hi,

Whenever I insert a date into any Word doc it looks like this { Time
\@"M/d/yyyy" }until I right click and select Toggle Fields. It does that
also with templates, etc. How can I disable the feature so that if I insert
a date or other that it will display the date and not the fields?

This is the first installation of Word 2000 that i have encountered this
with.

Thanks

Karl,

I don't think it is the default. ALT+F9 toggles the setting and you might
have pressed that combination accidently.
