go into view and see what is selected in there, in the older words if you had other views than normal or page view selected you could get all kinds of verbiage thrown at you, also there should be a options section in the ribbons, make sure the show all is not turned on in the view portion of the options ribbon selection (I am wording it this way since I know that 2003 keystrokes work with the ribbons in most cases, but do not have any office hire than 2003 so have not the exact knowledge of how to get to things in the office ribbons)
