Default 2007 Table of Contents not showing right

Hello,

Working with Word 2007 and a Table of Contents. This TOC has worked prior
to this morning flawlessly. I'm not familiar enough with Word to know what
is going on. The TOC appears in Print Preview, and when I copy/paste it is
pasted as it should be. Although it appears on the sheet that I'm seeing as
something altogether very odd (to me). It looks like ...

{ TOC \o "1-2" \h \z \t "MySub1,2" }

Does anybody know what this means? I'm not sure how to get it to show
normally (as it would in print preview) or if this view that I'm looking at
is normal. It is a little confusing. Any insight would be helpful.
Thanks.

You just have field codes set to display the codes instead of the results
(the ToC is just a field). Either use Shift+F9 to toggle Field Codes or go
to Tools, Options, View and change the setting.

Hi Terry,

Thanks for your time.

I tried what you said and it did not work. The keyboard shortcut did
nothing and I'm using 2007, so no more standard menus. I couldn't find it
in the Ribbon, although I'll keep looking.

Thanks anyway though.

Oops! Alt+F9. Brain and fingers were not in harmony.
