hi Jean,

As my links are speaking in Word, I just checked that on-the-fly verbosity 
menu to see how it was set.  And I find that the Fields item is on by 
default.  How could it have gotten turned off for someone, without them 
knowing?

In Word, go into verbosity settings with insert-V and turn Fields on.
That should do it.
