[mso] Control codes showing in Word 2000

Hello everyone. I made a document that shows big numbers in the 
background. A single three digit number, in huge font. It place numbers 
sequentially, all three digits wide, looking like:
001
002
003
004
005
... and so on until 999.

I *thought* I had the view in "Print View"!!!  It used to be that I 
could see and read this number just fine on the screen, but after 
changing the Print Quality in Printer Properties, I no longer see this 
number. Instead, I see the following:
{--PAGE-\-\# 00#*ARABIC*MERGEFORMAT-}

Note: The hyphen characters designate a single space.

If I go to File >> Print Preview, I do see the numbers just fine. I am 
printing the numbers in Crystal font if that is a factor.

Is there a way I can restore seeing the numbers in the background again 
without having to go to Print Preview? I sure miss being able to do 
that. If this is not clear, I can send anyone who wants to see what I 
see a screen shot.

Thank you.

Robert
