send me a sample document containing the fields to the link on my web page
and I'll try and see what it is you are missing here.

It didn't change anything. Then I selected all of the text and tried

For the first time ever, when I open some documents, I see on the
screen (PRIVATE) around some words and other symbols (tc \1), that
don't print. It doesn't happen when I open some documents, but a
few that haven't been opened in 3 years will have this annoying
formatting information, or whatever it is. I played around with
some formatting options, but nothing seems to get rid of it.
