Word 2007 Print layout not WYSIWG

[parling]

Hi all

I'm running Word 2007 with two HP printers, HPLJ1300 and HP7250. The
print layout in Word no longer shows the pages as WYSIWG. Any
embedded objects, such as page numbers, dates, and hyperlinks show as,
for example, {Page}, rather than 'Page 1', 'Page 2'. Equations show
as {EMBED Equation 1 }, etc. When I print the documents, they print
fine. The biggest problem with this is that the correct spacing and
page numbers do not show in Print Layout view. I am using 1 inch
margins all around, with left justification. I have tried
uninstalling Word (I uninstalled the entire Office suite), the
printers and their drivers. With each re-install the problem is still
there. The problem also happens in Excel. Any idea what's going on?

You have field codes displayed. Press Alt+F9 to change to field results -- it's
a toggle, turning them on and off. There's also a "Show field codes" check box
in the Options dialog, and Alt+F9 is just a keyboard shortcut to change the
value of that check box.
