I am seeing the field TOC instead of the table of contents

I opened a template document in Windows 2007 and now when ever I open a new
document (.docx) I see the template fields in stead of text. For example I
will see {TOC \o "1-3" \h \z \u} instead of the table of contents.
Something has been switched on some where , how do I turn this off?

Check in Tools, Options, View, Field Codes is not checked.
Also to toggle all in one go, Ctrl+A (to select whole document), then Alt+F9.
To fresh the fields, press F9.
The codes could be locked, then use Ctrl+Shft+F11 to unlock.
Hope this helps
