Merge fields & Text Boxes

Using Word 2007; shortly after updating to Windows Vista Business SP1, the
merge fields in all of my Word documemts that contain merge fields were
toggled to show the full name and field type {MERGEFIELD Full_Name} instead
of just the field name, «Full_Name». Also, all text boxes in these document
are not visible and therefore cannot be edited; they do print and can be
viewed only by selecting Print Preview. These documents were created in Word
2003 or earlier, but worked fine in Word 2007 prior to the Vista SP1 update.
Any suggestions?
 
Use Alt+F9 to toggle off the display of the field codes.

Thanks Doug. I know how to toggle the code fields. When Word is started and a
document is opened with merge fields, the fields display the detailed field
names. I can deal with this as it is just a nuisance. The real problem is
that the text boxes and their contents not being displayed. Do you have any
ideas as to why this is happening?
