I have problem with this Word file (Office ver 2003).I'm getting this weird character in file when I print it. The character looks like this <:BM:4::BM:>.Can anyone tell me how to remove these annoying characters from word? Any help would be appreciated.

Are they showing in any view other than Normal? How about Tools, Options, View, Show Field Codes? Is that checked?

Life's more painless for the brainless.

The weird tags only shows in print preview and when I print the file. The tags do not show when in normal view. Also, fields was uncheck.

Thanks for your help. I figured it out. The problem was that I had hidden text checked. I fixed the issue by going to tools/options/view and I unchecked hidden text.
