Field codes still won't hide

I asked about this before but I still haven't solved my problem. I have a
big file with field codes that won't hide even when I toggle View Field
Codes on and off. Does anyone know if there's a solution to this? If it is a
corrupt file, is there a good procedure to get the text out of it and into a
new non-corrupt file?

It's Word 2002 10.4524.43219 SP-2.

TIA
 
Are these XE and/or TC fields? If so, they're formatted as Hidden text and
aren't toggled with the field codes toggle but with the nonprinting
characters toggle (Show/Hide ¶).

Are the fields visible onscreen and/or when you print the
document? Make sure 'Field codes' and 'Hidden text' are
deselected on the View tab as well as the Print tab of the
Tools>Options dialog box.
