Word opens with all field codes toggled

Please Register to Remove these Ads

Hi All,
Recently, I've been writing a rather long document with citations, captions, TOCs etc and whenever I open it, Word defaults to showing the field codes for everything, rather than the result.
I know I can just ctrl+A, shift+F9 to get rid of it all but when ever I add a new item, it all switches back to the field codes, adding about 30 pages of rubbish everytime I change anything.
Word never used to do this and I've not conciously changed anything. Does anyone know how to make it stop please?!
Cheers,
Tom
PS
I'm using Word 2007 for my sins

With my version (2000): Select Tools > Options > View: deselect field codes , in the "Show" section...
