Default Grey brackets & grey text

i am using Word 2003 and some of my text within a table has grey square
brackets and greyed out text. i have turned off the "show bookmarks" setting
but the grey is still there. i have also tried turning off the shading in
Fields but this hasnt helped either. any ideas??

From your description, I'd guess what you are seeing are some form of fields.
They could be form fields, whose shading you can show/hide by clicking the
Form Field Shading button on the Forms toolbar.
