Default Having problems with RD field.....

I'm creating a large book and have the chapters separated into their own
documents. I learned yesterday how to create a table of contents for
all the documents using the RD fields. It worked great yesterday
except for the page number, which I found a macro code for. I tested
the macro and RD fields on my home machine last night, which is running
Office XP. Now here at work today, on my Office 2003, I can't get it
to work. I can't even type in the RD field. When doing the Alt/F9, I
get the field brackets, and I begin typing R and then D, then it
disappears!!!! Can anyone tell me what's going on? I really need to
get this working!

Thanks!
Shaunda

To keep the field displayed while you're working with it, click on the
pilcrow symbol (ie the one that looks like a backwards P) on the
toolbar. Alternatively, use Tools|options|View and check the 'hidden
text' or 'All' options. RD fields automatically set themselves to
hidden and so don't display when hidden text isn't displayed.

Cheers
