That is how the options were set. However, I did notice that my drawing
toolbar (which I normally keep open) was gone. I went to
Tools...Customize...Toolbars and checked Drawing, closed my document and when
I reopened it everything was back to the way it originally was. Problem
solved. Thanks for the suggestions.

Follow up clarification: I normally work with the documents in Print
Layout View. In Print Layout View I cannot see the borders, company
logo, embedded Excel objects, etc. In Print Preview and Reading
Layout I can see them but can't edit or move those objects. Another
oddity - I use headers and footers and the footer remained the same
but the header became the entire document (minus the footer). The
margins are correct in Page Layout. Any suggestions?

Are you used to seeing "Mailmerge fields" like this:
myfield
and are you now seeing them like this
{ MERGEFIELD myfield }
?
If so, this is just a "view" problem which you can fix (at least to
an extent) by clciking Alt-F9 in Word to toggle field code view,
and/or using Tools-Options-View to change the view settings.

I received an Word document (it had "Word fields" in it) as an
e-mail attachment. When I opened it I was asked if I wanted to
open it in Reading
View. I said yes. After I exited that document I noticed that
when I open
any of my Word mail merge documents, the mail merge fields are
replaced with
"Word fields". Can I correct this without recreating each mail
merge document? I have several hundred mail merge documents that
are affected. I'm
using Word 2003 on Windows Vista.
Thank you.
