field codes in file paths
When I put in a file path I get the field codes at the beginning and end. I
want only the file path (example: x:/active clients/joe smith/corr...) etc. This is what it used to look like, now it looks like this: FILENAME \x:/active clients/joe smith... How do I get it back to "normal" file paths? I have a feeling I turned something on or off. If I do CNTRL SHIFT F9 it takes them off... |

Alt+F9 switches between field codes and field results. It's a toggle --
repeating the keystroke switches it back again. -- Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org "twill" wrote: When I put in a file path I get the field codes at the beginning and end.

Ctrl-Shift-F9 unlinks fields (changes them from fields to the result text).
Delete the "x:/active clients/joe smith..." from your document. Then press Alt-F9 to toggle display of field codes. This should get you what you want. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
