What's this sign and how to remove it from my document?

Converting to text only is akin to throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

The bookmarks are not a particular problem you need to remove and certainly if there are any cross-references in the document, removing bookmarks could be causing lots of broken cross-references.

You can HIDE the bookmark indicator so they become invisible by going to Tools > Options > Advanced > Show Document Content > Show Bookmarks and unchecking the box.

You can delete all bookmarks by running a macro such as

Code:

Sub KillBookmarks()
  Do While ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Count > 0
    ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(1).Delete
  Loop
End Sub
