G'Day Snfldlover,

In Word
ToolsOptions
View (tab)
Field Codes (UNCHECK the box upper right).

SHIFT+F9 will still work, but the Field Codes will now NOT
be shown as the default.

For example, whenever I type a web address such as "www.yahoo.com" it
automatically is changed to "{HYPERLINK "http://www.yahoo.com"}". How do
I
turn this off??? I know that if I highlight it and hit shift F9 it
changes
it to normal text...but how do I make it always be normal and avoid having
to
always highlight and hit F9? It is the same with templates that I
download
to use...most of the stuff I cannot even see, but I know it is all there
because it shows up in Print Preview. Please help me as this is giving me
an
incredible headache! THANKS!
