Hello,
I am a basic user of Word and on the advice of a friend, I wanted to make my life easier by updating my table of contents using the Ctrl F9 command.
It worked the first time. But once the document was finished, when I wanted to do the final update, the table of contents disappeared along with the title and headers and footers. They were replaced by formulas:
- TITLE: {DOCPROPERT Title \* MERGEFORMAT}
- FOOTER: the {Date \@ "dd/MM/yyyy" \* MERGEFORMAT}
- TABLE OF CONTENTS: {Toc \H \Z \T ...Title 1,1 Title 2,2... }
Clicking "Cancel" has no effect. I also tried closing the document and coming back to it. Nothing works. I don't know how to recover my information.
If anyone knows what to do and can guide me on the process, thank you in advance :)
Best regards,
NaLou

Hello,
Let's clarify things a bit regarding field shortcuts:
Ctrl+F9: it's for CREATING a field.
F9: it's to update a field.
Alt+F9: it's to toggle between displaying fields and their results.
So you did what you're supposed to do. Just press Alt+F9 again and everything will fall into place.

Hello Marina,
Thank you for this clarification on these 3 shortcuts, I see things more clearly now.
And the Alt+F9 trick did indeed work.
Thank you very much!
