Dungarven Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 When I place text from Word into a text frame this appears at the top and sometimes in odd places throughout the document. Could someone please tell me what that means? Anything important? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulEC Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I think that this is a Word field code. There should be an option in Word to to toggle field codes on or off. Make sure it is set to off before copying the text.

Dungarven Posted August 24, 2022 Author Share Posted August 24, 2022 Thanks, PaulEC. What happens if you don't turn it off? I did a lot of work editing that text and hope I don't have to start over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you turn off displaying field codes, it should just display the actual text instead of the field codes.

David in Яuislip Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 <alt>F9 toggles field codes however this is a display feature in Word, the fields are not copied only their values e.g. if I copy and paste it into any other program then it appears as Wednesday, 24 August 2022 Page 1 of 1 Word count = 12 It looks to me like SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1 is a busted remnant that can be deleted PaulEC 1 Quote Microsoft Windows 11 Home, Intel i7-1360P 2.20 GHz, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Intel Iris Xe Affinity Photo - 24/05/20, Affinity Publisher - 06/12/20, KTM Superduke - 27/09/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dungarven Posted August 25, 2022 Author Share Posted August 25, 2022 Thank you. That makes sense. I just found out this is a code that has come across from starting out using Word Perfect and then moving text into Word. Just hope it doesn't affect Afpub.
