How do I get field codes not to appear

[Guest]

I just opened a Word document that includes many fields (page numbers and
Endnote citations) and now all I see is a lot of gibberish contained by two
set brackets, for example { PAGE}. I want to see the page number instead.
How do I fix this?

Thank you so much!

Press Alt+F9 to switch between display of field codes (what you
see now) and field results. If that doesn't help, then in Word,
click on Tools | Options | View tab | uncheck the boxes for
"All", "Hidden text", and "Field codes" | Print tab | uncheck the
"Hidden text" and "Field codes" boxes | OK.

Thanks very much!

Try hitting Alt-F9. That should switch them back.

I hope this helps.
