Footnote help

When attaching Footnotes to a Word document, the number is displayed and allowance made for a foot note to be inserted.
However the displayed footnote number has a vertical column of grey as a background.

Any idea how this smudge column may be erased?

Many thanks,

Ian

That is "Field shading". It tells you, that it is not a normal text, but 
some functionality is involved. Such field shading is not printed, but 
only shown on screen. If you do not like it, switch it off in menu View 
> Field shadings.

Kind regards
