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.
