How do I get field codes not to appear
I just opened a Word document that includes many fields (page numbers and
Endnote citations) and now all I see is a lot of gibberish contained by two set brackets, for example { PAGE}. I want to see the page number instead. How do I fix this? |

Press Alt+F9 to switch between display of field codes (what you
see now) and field results. If that doesn't help, then in Word, click on Tools | Options | View tab | uncheck the boxes for "All", "Hidden text", and "Field codes" | Print tab | uncheck the "Hidden text" and "Field codes" boxes | OK.

Try hitting Alt-F9. That should switch them back.
I hope this helps. Fred "Alison" wrote: I just opened a Word document that includes many fields (page numbers and Endnote citations) and now all I see is a lot of gibberish contained by two set brackets, for example { PAGE}. I want to see the page number instead. How do I fix this? |
