I don't want to see the "junk" in footers { DATA\@ "M/d/yyyy"}

[butchieg]

In creating a template or word document I get all the background computer
instructions in the place where I want to insert say a drop down box for a
template or footer in a document. In print preview I see the document as
it's supposed to be, but in print layout which is how most documents are
opened, all this junk shows up. Even hyperlinks don't show up as underlined
links but has all the other stuff.
How can I create a document where I don't get lost with all the extraneous
stuff included as I build the document.
