Hi, I am having trouble re-creating field code by inserting into a text box like in the pic, i'm trying learn how its done, but can't for the life of me understand how the text box enlarges to reveal the merged field code inside. anybody have any idea how to do this?

    Once you inserted the Fieldcodes and confirmed correct logic, adjust the text box size.

    May I know why you need to show the filed codes instead of its output?

    It will probably be easier to construct the required field code outside the box, toggle it to display the field result, and then paste it into the box. Older versions of Word had an option to "Resize AutoShape to fit text" (as shown below), but if this option is available in current versions, I haven't been able to find it."
