Default "anchor symbol"-how to get rid of

It shows that some sort of graphic (maybe a text box?) is "anchored"
to the page.

Does turning off Show Non-Printing Characters work?

I scanned in a document w/ OmniPage15 and saved the document into a *.doc
format. *Now, I have an "anchor symbol" on the far left side of the page(s)
and I have absolutely NO idea on how to remove the symbol. *When I've
copied/pasted some portions of the document I don't get the "anchor symbol"
nor the shaded background. *The document is only black text and white
background - no color. *I can see the paragraph symbol at the very top left
of the first page which can be relocated via the mouse when I move the left
margins. *But I just need to remove the "anchor symbol". *FWIW, the anchor
symbol appears about 2/3rds down the left side of the page...left of the
left-margin on the actual text.
So, how DO I remove the "anchor symbol" from the page(s)????
Thanks!!
