Embedded sign in document.

Solved
Anonymous user -  
Hello,
I am trying to find out how to remove a recurring sign on my documents that looks like a right bracket: [ or even: ]. But it is thinner and larger.
I can't seem to remove it from the text on screen, even though it doesn't appear in the printed text.
If anyone can help me resolve this issue, I would be very grateful.
Best regards,
Michel-Jean

    Hello,

    Brackets are a sign of... bookmarks! ;)
    A bookmark isn't harmful, but it didn't come alone.

    To delete bookmarks: Insert tab, Links group => Bookmarks
    There you can see the entire list of bookmarks and you can delete them.

    You can also just choose not to see them, without deleting them:
    File tab => Options => Advanced Options => Document content display => uncheck "Show bookmarks".

      Thank you very much, m@rina.
      I am always amazed to see that there are people who have an answer for everything in the field of IT! In other areas, it's a different story; they tend to bore me!
      Best regards.

      Hello Michel Jean,
      To say that I have all the answers in the field of IT would be a lie!
      That said, when it comes to office software, yes I have a bit of an answer for everything, but that's my job... so that's a bit normal! I've done x training sessions on the software, and I've written about twenty books on the subject, so I would be unforgivable if I didn’t know all this!! :)
      Have a great rest of the day and good luck with the next steps.

      Hello Marina,
      Can I "take advantage" of your skills to ask you another question:
      when I copy and paste a text from a website - this text being justified - when I then change the formatting on a Word document, it is no longer justified at all. I then have to manually adjust the lines in order to have a text justified on the right. Is it possible to avoid this tedious manipulation? (I don't know if that's very clear), especially since the "delete" function is not sufficient and I have to add a space to separate the closely grouped words...
      I have other questions, but I will let you rest and wish you a good weekend...
      Maybe I should create another section?
      Best regards.

      Hello Michel Jean, you need to follow these steps:

      On the website, select the text to copy; < Ctrl >< c > <=> copy

      In your Word document:

      1) Place your text cursor on a paragraph of your choice.

      2) < Ctrl >< v > <=> paste; right after, in the paste options,
          optionally choose "Keep Source Formatting."

      3) If your paragraph is not already justified and you want to do so (optional):
          a) Home tab, Paragraph group, click on the 4th icon from the bottom
          b) corresponding shortcut: < Alt >< L >< J >
          c) keyboard shortcut: < Ctrl >< Shift >< J >

      Still in your Word document, the justification of a paragraph is a
      setting for that Word paragraph which does not take the justification from the
      text of the website (thus the one from which you are copying).

      Best regards. :)

      @Anonymous userThank you for these tips, but I can't find the option for pasting: "keep destination formatting."
      Maybe I expressed myself poorly?
      How can I justify this text taken from the internet:

      /— "What?... What's that? I don't understand
      ..." /

      so that it appears in a Word document:

      — "What?... What's that? I don't understand..."

      and without having to manually remove the space between "understand" and "not"?

      I apologize if you think I'm a bit slow on the uptake...
      Thanks anyway for your patience!
      Best regards. :)
