Hello,
I have a problem with Word documents. Today my MS Word decided to display all hyperlink tags, i.e. now I see { HYPERRLINK “mailto:[email protected]” } instead of [email protected]
Could anyone tell me how to restore the normal view?
Thanks and kind regards,
Maya

Those are Field code tags. You should go to Tools>Options>View (tab), and on the Show section, uncheck Field codes (or its equivalent in your language). It's the second box from the top on the right side of the View window; at least in Word 2003.
Good luck,
Claudia

I never had this problem in Word 2003 - but it seems that something I did in Word 2007 caused it to happen...
Thanks for your explanation - now that I know they are called 'Field Tags' I was able to find them.

The third section down is "show document content" - towards the bottom of that list you will see "display field codes" and a tick box - untick it and they go away...
Once again, thanks people - it was driving me nuts! ▲ Collapse

thank you all. My Word 2007 is going crazy these days and it keeps showing me field codes and every kind of text that should remain hidden.
I am going to tame it, thanks to you

Or, as I saw on some forum one can hide them pressing Alt and F9 (in my case it was Alt and F9 and Fn).

Thanks guys. For some reason my Word started to spew out visible hyperlinks too. No idea why, but your explanation is far simpler and clearer than the one provided by Word's own help.
