Without warning, I am suddenly getting field codes instead of results, e.g.,
page numbers in footer appear as {PAGE-MERGE}. Help in Word advised
Tool\Options\Print and uncheck "fields" but "fields" was NOT checked. I
tried checking and then unchecking "fields" as well as exiting and reentering
Word and rebooting and nothing helps.

If you're seeing the field codes on the display rather than when you print,
either press Alt+F9 or clear the check box for "Field codes" on the *View*
tab of Tools | Options.
