Thank you for the info. I checked this setting. It is
currently unchecked.
Is there another place where this selection can be made?
Users in our office currently do not have access to Tools

It tends to adopt the last used setting. ALT+F9 will toggle the display. In
fact when working with fields you tend to toggle so often that you do it as
a matter of course when the display is not as you want. You can record this
as a macro and add it to a toolbar if you prefer. The code would be
ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = Not ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes
