I use MsWord all the time (both 2003 and, to my distaste, 2007), and 
have never run into a problem with inputting characters, much less the 
ASCII '['.  I'm not going to try to convert anyone to Word (I wouldn't 
be on this list if I thought it was the complete answer), but the 
problems you're having with it don't sound to me like they're caused by 
Word.
