Index field code displays, not index entries
Hello,
I'm creating a very large document (several hundreds of pages) for the first time. I've searched several other forums about my problem with no luck. I've created a separate index document for later inclusion in a master document. I've managed to insert an RD field with a correct reference to a test document. No error messages are generated, anyway. The test document has about a dozen XE fields, and I've successfully created an index from these fields in the test document itself. Here's the problem. In the index document, when I insert the index, the field code characters appear, not the index entries. In other words, the INDEX command appears with the switches inside curly brackets. Clicking Show/Hide doesn't do anything, although the RD field code appears/disappears. What am I doing wrong? I'm using Word 2007, creating Word 2003 (.doc) files on a Vista Business laptop. Any help appreciated. Thank you. bluepete |

Press Alt+F9 to toggle the display from field codes, which is what you're
seeing, to field results. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "bluepete" wrote in message ...
