Field codes hold reference information for your formatted citations, and are typically hidden. See Field Codes in Microsoft Word for more information on field codes.

To hide field codes in Word:

  1. In Word, go to the Word menu and select Preferences.
  2. Click the View button.
  3. In the View window, clear the box titled Field codes instead of values under the Show in Document heading.
  4. Close the window to save your changes.

Your citations will now appear correct in the document. Field codes are still there, and are necessary, but they are hidden from view.
