RD on typing 'RD' reference is deleted

Hi, Red. Before you start typing field codes, turn on display of hidden
text. The easiest way to do this is to press the ¶ button (Show All) on
the Standard toolbar at the top of your screen. Toggle off Show All by
pressing the ¶ button again.

I am using Word 2003 and am trying to use RD to create a TOC for
multiple docs.

My problem is that when I try to type {RD 'file.doc'} s soon as I type
the 'D' of RD the curly brackets disappear.
i.e. if I type '{ TOC }{RD }' I get '{ TOC }'

I am trying to type the equivalent of:
{ TOC }
{ RD C:\\Manual\\Chapters\\Chapter1.doc }
{ RD C:\\Manual\\Chapters\\Chapter2.doc }
{ RD C:\\Manual\\Chapters\\Chapter3.doc }

I would be very grateful if anyone can tell me what is going wrong!

Many Thanks

Redge.
