[AccessD] Import Word 2003 doc to A2003

Hi All
 
I have a protected Word doc with 20 or so bookmarks. And in Access I  use 
vba to import the each bookmark contents to a Access table. It works  well, 
but for a small irritation. In the memo field I get a small square at the  
end of each sentence. I guess its a paragraph marker from Word.
 
Anyone know what causes this and how to remove them?
 
In Access I  use the code '!CaseSummary =  
Doc.formfields("BookmarkName").result' to populate the table
 
 
 
TIA
