Toggle Field Codes

[chris.a.mitchell]

I've recently been playing with Field Codes.

Now when I open Word documents, even those that I've not played with
FCs in, hyperlinks show as FC text e.g. { HYPERLINK
"http://www.abbey.com/index.htm" }

How can I force Word to open with hyperlinks showing as clickable links
as opposed to the FC text above?

I know I can use Shift F9 to toggle between FC text and clickable links
but I want documents to open with clickable links by default and toggle
to FC text if and when I want, as was the case before I started playing
with FCs.

I've toggled to clickable hyperlinks and saved the document, but when I
re-open it I'm back to FC text!

When I posted this my FC text was converted to a clickable hyperlink,
which is what I want in my Word documents. In my documents these links
are not clickable!

Hi Chris,

Go to Tools | Options | View and deselect Field Codes. That should do
the trick for you. Let me know if the problem persists.

Thanks Carol.

It's so easy, and embarrassingly obvious, when you know how!

Glad I could be of help!
