How to hide XE field
During my modification of Word document I see the XE field - for index.
I don't know how to hide it. It disturbs me as I modify the text formating. Can you tell me how to hide it? I tried Ctrl+Shift+8 and Alt+F9 but it does not influence on XE field. -- Regards Jan Kratochvil WIN XP Pro SP2, Office 2007 SP 1 |

I tried Ctrl+Shift+8 and Alt+F9 but it does not influence on XE field. Unlike most other fields, the XE field is automatically marked with Hidden font format but doesn't collapse when Alt+F9 is pressed. To be "helpful", Word turns on the display of all nonprinting characters whenever you mark an index entry. The Ctrl+Shift+8 shortcut should have worked, but there's another possibility. Look at Tools Options View (in Word 2007, Office button Word Options Display). If the "Hidden text" box is checked, that isn't toggled by the shortcut or by the ¶ button (which affect only the "All" box). Uncheck all of the boxes in that section. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

How to hide XE field
Which version of Word?
XE fields are formatted as hidden text. You need to clear the check next to "Hidden text" in the Word options, then you can click the Show/ Hide paragraph mark or use the Ctrl + Shift + 8 toggle shortcut. Where the option is located depends on your version of Word. Cheryl On Nov 10, 5:56*am, Jan Kratochvil wrote: During my modification of Word document I see the XE field - for index.

How to hide XE field
TC and XE fields are Hidden text and should respond to the Ctrl+* command
(or the Show/Hide ¶ button), but if they don't, go to Tools | Options | View and clear the check box for "Hidden text." -- Suzanne S.

Answer: How to hide XE field
Hi Jan,
I understand that the XE field is causing some disturbance while you are modifying the formatting of your Word document. I can definitely help you with that. To hide the XE field, you can follow these steps:
This should hide the XE field and any other fields in your document. If you want to show the fields again, simply repeat the above steps and select "Always" or "When selected" from the "Field shading" drop-down menu.
