MS Word; auto-date displays field code 1

[votegop]

Word document with mail merge from Access data source. There is an auto-updating date field on the document. When I merge, it comes up as {TIME\@"MMMM d,yyyy"}. Why is it displaying the field code instead of the date? All the merge fields display correctly. Sure, I can hit "toggle field codes" and the date displays correctly, but I shouldn't have to do that.

Any help is appreciated.

Check TOOLS, OPTIONS, VIEW and make sure that the FIELD CODES box is not checked.

Thank you Larry. You nailed it. It was confusing simply because the merge fields displayed the data, and not the codes. Either way, that was it...thanks!!
