[Athen] Word to PDF includes Word codes

[Terry Thompson]

Just a quick follow-up: 

This appears to have been the result of updates that Microsoft rolled out
recently for its Office suite. My Print Options dialog in Word now contains
in its "Include With Document" section items like "Document Properties"
(which attaches a summary page) and "Field Codes" (which displays codes
instead of text). Both of these were checked by default, as was "Reverse
print order", which conveniently arranges documents in reverse order with
the title at the end. 

Thanks to those who contacted me off-list with suggestions!
