Default Inserting checkbox form field without the brackets

When inserting the checkbox form field, I'm getting brackets "[ ]"
around the check box. Is there anyway to turn these off? If so, where
do I do it? I've searched and searched and can find no documentation
for the "feature".

I am assuming that these brackets do not print. If this is correct, what you
are seeing are bookmark indicators. Word automatically makes a bookmark each
time you insert a new formfield from the Forms toolbar.

You can turn the viewing of these off using Tools = Options = View and
unchecking bookmarks.

For more about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles.

Hope this helps,
