Hi
I've found a cure but posting just inc someone else has the same prob. I
have a dual boot Vista Enterprise/XP Pro and Office Pro 2003, all fully
updated.
I have a 350 page Word doc with stacks of XE fields (3 seperate indexes) but
they won't disappear. I've tried the obvious alt-F9, shift-ctrl 8, the
backward P. Settings in tools-options worked but when I saved and reopened
the doc the XE fields were visible again.
I've searched the forum and deleted normal.dot as suggested many times. No
luck. Started Word is safe mode (/A). Worked but again after reopening the
doc, they were back. Repaired and reinstalled office then MS update, still no
luck. File open and repair, worked but save and reopen, no luck.
It's only this doc and it works fine at the office.
The good bit is that a COPY AND PASTE into a NEW doc worked!! The
backward P shows and hides as it should.
Does anyone know why the XE fields stayed visible? Like I said, it's cured
so not urgent. Also, sorry for the long post
Cheers
