Formatting Dsiplays with Text

[Leah the pooch]

Help! I must have changed something within my MS Word 2003 application.
When I format header, footers or embed documents, I can only see the text
when I "print preview" or print on hard copy. Otherwise, the formatting
commands show up on my screen. Makes it really difficult to update and
confirm what I typed is correct.
Any suggestions???

What "formatting commands" are you talking about? Do you mean the field
codes, such as {PAGE} and {INCLUDETEXT}? If so, press Alt+F9 to toggle the
field codes (it's a shortcut for going to Tools > Options > View and
checking/unchecking the "Field codes" box).
