Default Word is acting weird how do i restore it to normal?


Im trying to update my CV using word and its not showing the text box i
added (its shows up fine in print preview). It just says:

{shape /*mergeformat}

I tried to open some other documents and links etc have turned into
similar gobbledy gook. How can i return the document editing screen to
normal so that i can see my work as i go along.

Id be grateful for any advice and if you need to know more info from me
please please ask.

Kind regards

Presuming you have Word 2007 (?), Word Options, Advanced, 'Show Drawing and
Text Boxes on Screen'.

Press Alt+F9 to toggle the display from field codes (what you're seeing) to
field results.
