Text disappears and is replaced by text

[NoviceIan]

Everytime I insert diagrams and drawings for some reason the diagram
disappears and a line of text takes it place. Something like {Shape*} Can
somebody please tell me how to stop this happenning please.

If possible explain to me why this would ever be needed.

Thanks Ian

You're displaying field codes instead of field results. Press Alt-F9.

Hi Ian,

It appears that you're viewing field codes rather than
field results. See if using Alt+F9 toggles the display
back and check your settings in Tools=>Options=>View
