Table of contents and page number not working: Mac

[michellefiander]

Hello,

I'm a Mac user. I routinely create documents with a table of contents and headers/footers for page numbers. I use the Table of Contents option under the References Menu.

Today it stopped working. Instead of a TOC , curly brackets and code is inserted into my document, e.g. {TOC } or {page}.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the Word App. I restarted my computer. I checked for updates for my operating system. I uninstalled an reactivated my license. 

Is anyone else having this experience?

You are seeing field codes instead of field results. Try pressing Option+F9 to hide the field codes.
