Microsoft Word->Field Code->{TC}

Question

So I am having a problem. This is what I can create on one of my laptop:

On another, when I created something that has {TC} in it, the whole field code disappeared.

For the example above, if on the other computer, both are running Office 2010,

I can input the code to create the table of content from:

{TOC \f \h \z \f 1\t "Heading 1,1,Heading 2,2,Heading 3,3,Title,1}

to

{TC}

The moment I type in TC, the whole {} disappears.

Other field codes work just fine, except for {TC}. So my question is how do I get {TC} to show on my other laptop?

Thank you for your time.

Answer 1

Apparently, I found my answer.

When I searched google for my answer, most sites give this as a solution:

For Word 2010, go to File->Options->Advanced

Under Show document contents: Select "Show field code instead of their values"

This is the equivalent of pressing Alt+F9, which DID NOT solve my problem.

Apparently, the solution to get {TC} to show in your document is in:

go to File->Options->Display

and check to always show HIDDEN TEXT.

I hope this helps someone in the future.
