Default Strange Formatting Marks-Need Answer ASAP

I am editing someone else's document. In Final View and Final Document
Markup, you can see light gray marks that look similar to [ (a bracket) .
This seems to start happening with the first numbered list. When I click on
the number, I cannot delete it and when I click on the text next to it, I
cannot delete it. I clicked on the formatting numbered lists and on the
customizing button and see nothing causing it either. It looks like tabs are
set above it, but I clicked on tabs and see nothing wrong. How do I get this
out? It is all over the document and I have to get this done fast!

Can someone please answer this? Thanks!

What you describe sounds like the way Word displays bookmarks. Try going to
Tools Options View (or in Word 2007, Office button Word Options Advanced
Show document content) and, if the Bookmarks option is checked, uncheck it.


If they are bookmarks, they won't print even if they're visible on screen.
