Default Displaying codes in a Word document.

To help in formatting, I need to show coding on an existing Word
document. Can this be done?

Are these "field codes" ?

There's a tick box.

If Paul Nospam's suggestion is not it, then try Shift F1 then
check show all formatting marks.

I figured he meant more general formatting, not specifically fields. If so,
he should just click the Paragraph mark thingy, as in this pic:

Cool, I just made the same suggestion, but via the Ribbon versus your way.

If available, I set these in options/preferences so they always show.

Thanx to all. We are re-birthing safety data sheets from another
company for use in ours, in pdf format, which we convert to Word for
the alterations. Then we convert back to pdf. We are more familiar
with Word. Using search & replace we convert all static data to suit
us.
