Press Alt+F9 to switch between display of field codes (what you
see now) and field results. If that doesn't help, then in Word, click on Tools | Options | View tab | uncheck the "Field codes" box | Print tab | uncheck the "Field codes" box | OK.

Hi ?B?U2lvYmhhbg==?=,
i wrote some text in a text box last night, then modified the text boxes colours, lines etc. I saved it, but today when i reopen the file, instead of text boxes i have {SHAPE \* MERGERFORMAT} but this didn't ahppen to 1 of the text boxes. Try pressing Alt+F9 a couple of times, until all the field codes (that's the brackets+text stuff) toggle back to field result display.
