Windows 2003 & AutoText problems

[Guest]

Since I've upgraded to Windows 2003, all my automated autotext (page, author,
date, filename etc) come up with little squares and text instead of the field.

Any idea how to address this?

I think what you're referring to are fields, not autotext (that's a
different feature). The field codes are showing. To toggle them off,
press Alt+F9 or, alternatively, go to Tools > Options > View and
uncheck Field Codes.

Most of these fields are available as AutoText entries, however.
