Thanks Brad, I restored the default values to the Options Preference Default Tab and the problem went away. I must have entered some keystroke combination by mistake that changed it.

If that is the case then you can globally hide them all again and there are 16 of them not 11 (maybe the others are blank, no asterisk). However going strictly by your exact description it sounds more likely that the "O"ptions, "P"reference, Default Tab settings have been played with for those Partfields. In that Tab you can set the Hidden attribute (checked) for each of the 16 Partfields. Checking the "permanent" checkbox on this Tab makes your changes permanent, rather than just for the present editing session. So if you run through all the Partfields here, you can make any of them hidden ("Hide") or visible as default when you place parts from your library.

Last week a problem appeared, when I place a component from my library into a schematic 11 asteriks appear beneath the component. These are all in the parts fields, which are hidden. I can globally hide the first ten, and delete the 11th one, but I need to do this for every component placed! As far as I know I did nothing to cause this, and cannot find a way to turn it off. Any ideas?
