Hi Luke,

This is showing you where the bookmarks are in your document. If you go to
Tools, Options, then onto the view tab and at the section at the top take the
tick out of the box that says bookmarks it should disappear.

Bookmarks in Word are like bookmarks anywhere else, they are used to mark a
place in a document that you might need to refer back to. They can be used
for cross referencing, fields and macros etc. To create a bookmark you can
either click in the location in your document or select some text and then go
to the Insert menu, and choose bookmark.
