Default "Strange" codes in word documents

You only need to press Alt+F9 to display field results instead of field
codes. Alt+F9 toggles field codes on and off.

I have a similar problem trying to hide several anoying brackets and other
formatting instructions which I can't hide except in full screen reading
example : {TOC \ O} and similar
I tried removing languages but without results
Thanks for your suggestions

Somehow I have got some codes in some of my word documents. On the screen
they look like either a big capital I or a big square bracket, both in
grey.
They do not appear on the printed document.

I have the feeling that it might be from old Word Perfect documents
converted to Word documents, but I am not sure. It seems like I have
pushed a
button to make them appear, but which one? I have tried with Alt+F9 with
no
result. Also show/hide does not work on this.
