My index has disappeared!

Okay, so a minute ago Bear helped me to delete all the codes for my index.
However, I want to keep the actual index itself cuz the publisher of my book
needs it (and they will paginate it). So I did a find/replace and deleted the
XE codes. The index disappeared - which I thought was ok...I would just go to
a previous copy of the document and grab it there. So I open EVERY COPY of my
document...even WITH the index codes in it and there's no index anymore!
Instead, I get this on the last page:

OK THAT'S TOTALLY WEIRD...when I just pasted the code I'm getting in my
document into this forum THE WHOLE INDEX PRINTED OUT. But if I paste it into
a new Word document, all I get is the code.

Here it is without the curly brackets:

INDEX \h "A" \c "2" \z "1033"

That *is* your index: Alt+F9 to toggle field codes.
