Neither of your two attachments contains any fields that I can see. What they contain is content controls. Saving the documents in the .doc or .pdf formats will delete the content controls, leaving only the displayed output.

Instead of trying to use a macro to change the font attributes after the event, you should apply Styles with the desired formatting beforehand (i.e. to the template upon which the document is based).

Moreover, if the brackets, etc. were made part of the content control prompt text, you wouldn't have anything to delete - they'd disappear as soon as the user input something there.
