For older versions of Word, this problem was caused by the Type: setting
being set to Recover text rather than to Word document in the Open dialog
box. I thought, however, that this problem had been fixed in Word 2003, so
that it would not "remember" that setting. In any case, check File - Open,
and make sure that Files of type: is not set to Recover text.

I have word documents (Microsoft Word 2003, SP3) that just recently started
showing all text with the Styles & Formatting = Instructions. How can I
make
this text hidden?
