This is not a question but an observation. I have been unable to use Shift-F9 to toggle a field code for quite some time. I recently discovered that this was because of my installation of TechSmith's SnagIt program. Once I discovered the interference,
it was easily fixed by changing the keyboard shortcut in Snagit. This is easy to do under Tools > Preferences.
The other F-key keyboard shortcut hijacked by SnagIt is Shift-F10.
Although I posted this in the Word forum, it applies to all Office programs, and for that matter all Windows programs.
BTW, I find Shift-F9 to be of limited use. It you have nested fields, it will not necessarily toggle all of the field, but just the outermost wrapping field. For more complex fields, I use the Alt-F9 toggle, remembering that with that one, it is necessary to
toggle back.
Those are not the only keyboard shortcuts that SnagIt hijacks. By default, Ctrl+Shift+X is assigned to Show/Hide SnagIt. I was very dismayed when my shortcut for the multiplication sign kept opening SnagIt. It took me a few tries to twig to what was going on!
I'm leaving this where it is for now, though it really should be a Discussion post. When the Q&A and Discussions are merged later this week, it may be that Discussions will become more searchable?
