Default (PRIVATE) AND OTHER SYMBOLS SHOWING ON WORD DOCUMENTS

It didn't change anything. Then I selected all of the text and tried it
again - no change. ?? Any other ideas. Thanks.

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.
