Word and embedded objects

[Frank Sapper]

Can anyone tell me why this problem occurs. I am a
classroom teacher using word 2000. Students are required
to take a table and create a graph using the Insert
Picture graph commands. Most of the students are
successful but I have a few computers that will show this
field code {EMBEDDED MS Graph.Chart.8\s}. The graph will
not show up on the document.

I have tried everything to get this to work.

The same computers will show {page} when they try to
insert page numbers. But the work around on this is to
right click on the field code and the "toggle" it off.

Thanks

frank

Hi Frank,

Either select Options from the Tools menu and go to the View tab and uncheck
the Field Codes item or use Alt+F9 to toggle off the field codes.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps

Alt+F9 will also toggle the display of field codes. Be sure you have field
results (rather than field codes) displayed when you quit Word, and it
should open properly. When opening a document from an existing document
window, the setting in the new window will be the same as in the existing
one, so make sure you have it right there. A long time ago, when I could
never remember Alt+F9, I added a toolbar button to toggle field codes; this
is still handy because it provides a visual reference of the current
setting.

Hi Frank,

You can toggle between field codes and field results
in Word using Alt+F9. The default choice is set
in Tools=>Options=>View.

If you toggle and get an error try turning off or
updating the OfficeAv plugin feature in Norton
Antivirus.
