I am using Word 2003 with XP Home.
I have been working on some medium sized documents (400 to 500K) and
I have found grey square brackets ([ ]) showing up in the text above
where I am writing. They do not declare themselves using the show
punctuation button, and I can not delete them. They do not appear on
the printed output.
Probably an easy one, but I don't understand. Thanks, Nick
