Default Searching and replacing form fields

Hi ?B?S2ltbWk=?=,

I am trying to search for a form field containg a square bracket and replace
it with nothing. There are lots of occurrences in the document and if I do a
simple search and replace or [ with nothing, the square bracket returns when
the fields are updated. And there are other form fields that I don't want to
replace!

I'm using word 2000

We're talking about a protected document, here? And you're trying to run
find/replace on the protected document, or the unprotected one?

Could you give us an example of content in a form field you're trying to
replace?

Is there any chance this is a "prompt" placeholder (default text) for the form
fields?
