Text appearing in Hypertext

[maserace]

In word when I type a web address rather then formatting as highlighted
hyperlink it appears as {HYPERLINK "http://www.msn.com"}, this also happens
with images and text taken from the net, most appearing as {EMBED Word
Picture}, the same occurs when inserting page numbers rather then the number
appearing it is {PAGE}. This has only recently started to happen and is not
only affecting new docs, but old ones as well with all pictures, text and
links having these issues.

When I print the doc or Print Preview it is fine, reverting back to the
proper form.

Have I somehow altered the autoformat? How do I correct?

How do I get rid of this hypertext language when composing the doc?
