why do I have to toggle field codes every time I open a document?
I am working on documents created in earlier versions of Word. (Office XP
would be my guess.) I'm in compatibility mode, because not everyone has migrated. In the footer of these documents are codes: date, page number, page length. Every time I open the document, these codes are toggled, so I see { PAGE } instead of 1. A lot of these documents have formatting issues in the footer, so every time I have to toggle the codes and play with the formatting. Because they don't stay toggled, I can't tell what I've fixed and what I haven't. |

Copy the line
ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = False to an autoopen macro in normal.dot and your documents will always open to show the result. 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 TychaBrahe wrote: I am working on documents created in earlier versions of Word.
