Press Alt+F9 to toggle between field codes (what you see now) and field
results. That's a shortcut for going to the Options dialog and
checking/unchecking the Field Codes box.

Help!
I have a template with form fields. When I start a new document from
the template and put in text in the prompt boxes the document ends up
like this.
{FILLIN"date"\*MERGEFORMAT}
Yet it prints what I typed in the boxes.
Any help would be appreciated.
