What is the keystroke to remove all TOA field codes from a docume.

[Guest]

I would like to remove all TOA field codes from my document using a
keystroke, i.e., CNTL + A to select all and [keystroke to remove TOA codes].

There's not a single keystroke, but it's not much more difficult than that:

1. Display Hidden text (so that you can see the TOA fields).

2. Press Ctrl+H to open the Find and Replace dialog.

3. In the "Find what" box, type

^19 TOA

4. Leave the "Replace with" box empty.

5. Replace All.

It worked when I changed the TOA to TA [^19 TA is what I searched for].
What does the ^19 represent?

Sorry, my fault (I have never used TA fields or a TOA). ^19 or ^d is the
code for an opening field brace. The Find works because Word will select an
entire field when you select the opening brace, and adding TA or whatever
narrows the find to specific fields.
