Cleaning up the content is as simple as:

Code:

Sub Demo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With ActiveDocument.Range.Find
  .ClearFormatting
  .Replacement.ClearFormatting
  .Format = False
  .Forward = True
  .Text = "[\[\]\*“”""""]"
  .MatchWildcards = True
  .Replacement.Text = ""
  .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

A forum search will turn up macros for deleting empty table rows.
