Default Hiding fields

Hi friends!

I am not able to hide TC fields or XE (index) fields. I select the field and hit alt-f9 and it doesn't hide them. I have looked for a solution through Google and all they mention is selecting and alt-f9, but as I said it is not working.
Am I doomed to see all these fields all the time even when I am not working with them?

I have unselected the option to show field codes


Thank you and have a good day!

Susan Flamingo

If you have display hidden text switched on, then the answer is yes.
This is switched on when you use the pilcrow to display paragrapm marks and other non-printing formatting marks.
You can select individual things to display under Advanced Options.

The show/hide hidden chars is not selected and it is still showing all the TC fields and XE fields. Very frustrating....

Yes, this was the problem. I thought you were talking about the show hide button on the Paragraph group of the ribbon. It was in the options settings.


Thank you and have a good day!

Note that the ¶ icon on the Home tab toggles the "Show all formatting marks" option at File > Options > Display. The ¶ will not affect any nonprinting marks that have been explicitly selected in the dialog box.
