The reason for this is simple: Fields allow the easy inclusion of dynamic data within your documents. Normally, Word hides the contents of fields (the &#8220;codes&#8221; that are intrinsic to the field), replacing them instead with their result, if they are the type of field that yields a result.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to see the contents of your fields, then you can toggle the display so that those contents are visible. You do this by pressing Shift+F9. Any field contents should then be visible, and you can modify those field contents, if desired.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that this shortcut functions as a toggle. When you are through viewing the field contents, just press Shift+F9 again. Word hides the field contents and replaces them with the field results, if any.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/wordribbon.tips.net\/T009083_Displaying_Fields.html\" target=\"_blank\">Article Continued
