Never mind we figured it out. It was ALT+F9 that did the trick.
My wife was doing some school work and the laptop and she had Microsoft Word 2007 up with a form from school that had check box symbols on it. Well the cat decided to lay on the warm laptop when she left the room. When she came back the check box symbols were replaced with it saying {FORMCHECKBOX} in all their places. We can't figure out what the cat hit to make it do this to change it back to fix it and change it back to show the actual boxes. Any help on this?
