RD field disapears at the stroke of D key

[EddyStC]

It was suggested to me yesterday that I use macros to go through and make up
this table of contents from multiple sources. I started the first couple of
steps and to add in each individual document to the table, I started using RD
fields.

The only problem is once I get to here { R }, as soon as I type D the entire
RD field disapears. I've tried Ctrl + Shft + 8 to try and see if there was
something typed in that shouldn't be, but all that comes up is the normal
everyday paragraph and space indicators .

I've even tried to copy and paste the RD field in from another programme,
but the same thing happens.

RD fields (like TC and XE and possible some more fields) are formatted as
hidden. To work with them, you must display hidden text.

by typing in Alt F9? yeah I had already done that, the field still disapears
whenever I go to type the letter D in the RD code.

No, Alt+F9 does not work with these fields. Instead, you will have to
explicitly display hidden text (in Word Options) or show all nonprinting
marks (click the ¶ button on the toolbar or ribbon).
