Or kill them all with a simple macro:

Sub DeleteBookMarks()
Dim oBkMark As Bookmark
For Each oBkMark In ActiveDocument.Bookmarks
oBkMark.Delete
Next
End Sub

You can leave them in the document but make them invisible -- lots

In Tools Options View, uncheck "Bookmarks" and click OK.

the Insert-Bookmark menu.

light gray ][ all over the document. What are they, and how do I
get rid of them?
