Default Funny Symbols when copy/pasting bulleted lists

When I copy a bulleted list from another document (I have Microsoft 2003),
sometimes I receive funny symbols after trying to change the formatting to
fit the rest of the document. For example, I pasted a bulleted list,
selected "clear formatting" from the drop down list on the toolbar and
instead of getting rid of all the bullets, it put a red rectangle with a low
line through it in front of only one of the sentances. So I tried again, and
this time just selected the bullet that I use in Word, and in front of that
same sentance, a red circle with a line through it appeared. I can't erase
this, and it happens to be fairly often. I end up having to erase the whole
line and just type it in myself. Oh, and if I try to just hit "backspace"
the line moves up a line (as normal text would), and the symbol attaches
itself to this new line. Does anyone know how this happens, and how I can
get rid of it? I've searched all the Microsoft formatting symbols and can
never find either of them!
