Default Updating fieldcodes deleted a whole document?

Hi
I have a long 300 page Word 2013 document, in which the TOC has fieldcodes. I read somewhere that fieldcodes should update automatically when the file is opened. This didnīt seem to be the case in my document, so I tried Ctrl+A+F9 as I had seen recommended several places, also in Office Help.
Something strange then happened: the fieldcodes did update, but the whole document became marked and I could not remove this. I then saved and closed the document.
When I opened it again, all that was left of the 300 pages was 5 pages of footnotes, continously numbered (I had "pagenumbering" in the document).
Even more strange: the size of the document is still the same!!!

Can anyone enlighten me on this puzzle? And what is the trick to update all fieldcodes, if not Ctrl+A+F9?
