MS Office Forum / Word / Word Errors / September 2008ALT+F9 doesn't work 100%
I could use some help. Word 2007 just started displaying field codes and changes in a document that displayed without them up til now. I used alt F9, but this did not turn off all field codes. I changed the document to final from final showing markup, nad per the KB article, inserted and deleted a character to make this "stick". But whenever I re-open the document, field code/brackets still display. Alt F9 turns off only about 50% of the field codes. Wierd. Any ideas? Thanks XE and TC fields are formatted as Hidden and are not affected by Alt+F9 but rather by Show/Hide ¶.  SignatureSuzanne S.

Also annoying that "Show hidden text" occasionally is toggled on automatically... Which means that the "Show all" (¶) toggle then doesn't work as expected any more. Klaus I think "Hidden text" gets toggled on when you insert XE or TC fields. SignatureSuzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA >> It's really very unintuitive.

Now in Word 2007 I need a way to instruct my users on how to globally and permanently (not on by default) turn off Field Codes.

Alt+F9 toggles the display. But if you're asking where this control is in Word 2007, go to Office Button | Word Options | Advanced | Show document content: Show field codes instead of their values. You want this box to be unchecked. SignatureSuzanne S.

Therefore, it might be a good idea to close all documents but one before hiding field codes.
