remove XE field codes (Word 2003 SP2)

Topic

New Reply

I am working on a document that we need to return to the client with NO CODES or HYPERLINKS. I am using a concordance file to mark the document for index generation and then generating the Index in a separate document.

How do I remove the XE field codes when I am done. Or should I use this marked document as my working document, and just cut and paste the actual Index at the end as Rich Formatted Text?

TIA,
gg

Try this:
– Press Ctrl+Home to go to the start of the document.
– Select Edit | Replace…
– Enter ^d XE in the Find what box.
– Make sure that the Replace with box is blank.
– Click Replace All.
This should remove all XE fields.
