Out of nowhere this morning, these pink parenthetic-like tags (after a little research, I believe these are Custom XML Smart Tags?) started showing up in my Email Signature.

While I realize that these can't be seen when the email is sent, they're annoying the **** out of me.

Anyone know how to remove these? I have followed instructions to remove smart tags, and nothing is working. They're pink, they look like big, fat parentheses, and I want them gone.

Can anyone help? Thanks!

Edit: Now I cannot type capital letters in Outlook unless the Caps Lock is on......
