when I open my word files, some strange codes appear in my references
(entered by EndNote), page numbers, some pictures and links. It is corrected
when I use the toggle field codes. how can I prevent it?
Thanks
 
Several things to check.
Check in Tools, Options, View, Field Codes is not checked.
Also to toggle all in one go, Ctrl+A (to select whole document) F9.
The codes could be locked, then use Ctrl+Shft+F11 to unlock.
Hope this helps

Word, particularly Word 2003, has a bad habit of changing the personalised
settings stored in the data key in the registry. Some have suggested that
this is caused by the interaction of certain add-ins, but I remain
unconvinced. You could reset the key and re-apply your preferences, but the
chances are that it will lose them again, so it is probably simpler just to
apply the settings that change with auto macros.

If you add the line
ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = False
to both an autoopen and an autonew macro in normal.dot (normal.dotm for Word
2007) all documents will open with the field code display switched off.
