How do I get rid of the grey brackets that appear with form fields
How do I get rid of the grey brackets that appear with form fields? They
obscure the edges of the text that is typed into the field. They sometime migrate away from the field and into other text. This leaves the field without brackets, which I see as a good thing, but the brackets are still present in adjacent text. This gives the form a messy, unprofessional look. |

The brackets represent bookmarks. In addition to the bookmarks that you can insert with the Insert Bookmark dialog, each form field has a built-in bookmark that serves as the field's name. The table of contents feature and the cross-reference feature also insert bookmarks, which are usually hidden from users. The display of bookmarks as grey brackets is controlled by the Bookmarks option in Tools Options View. Uncheck the option if you don't want to see them. Be aware, though, that other users may have the option enabled and they will expect to see the brackets. Not everyone shares your distaste for them. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
