Default Page numbers show up in form {PAGE } not as numbers. Why?

What have I done! When I try to insert page numbers or even copy/paste a
picture from the internet, the result shows up as bracketed computer
instructions rather than as the result I want: actual numbers or the picture
reproduced. Any ideas what setting is wrong?
