I'm working on a Word document where various parties are inserting tracked
changes and comments. There are some places in the document where a character
appears that looks like a comment marker, but there is no comment there. The
character doesn't get copied if I mark the text and ctrl+c, but it does get
printed.

Any ideas of why this has happened and how I can get rid of it?

Thanks,

Karen.

Could it be the indicator of a bookmark? Tools | Options | View: Bookmarks.

Hi there,

I've solved it! If you press the "show editing marks" button, the empty
comment will show up next to the "ghost" comment mark, and you can then
right-click that comment and delete it. That option isn't available unless
edition marks are visible.

Thanks anyway,

Karen.
