We are working on a large procedure document (300+
pages).  We've broken down the document to several files
to make it easier to work with (eg: chaper1.doc,
chapter2.doc)

We wanted to create a "Master" Table of Contents which
would include level 1 and 2 TOC. Rather than using master
document, we used the RD fields and referenced all the
chapter files - this worked great.

Now we've run into the following problem.

- Anytime we insert a code (eg: table of contents, page
numbers), we see the code rather than what is inserted.

Eg: Insert an Table of contents (Insert | Reference |
Index and Tables | Table of contents) inserts this code
in the document.

{TOC \o "1-3"\h \z\u}

We now have to toggle back to see the actual text.

How can we set it so that you see the text first, not the
code first.

Thank you.

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
| Options - they can not make any changes in this menu.

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
