Some of my Word documents have funny characters in them that were not there
before. However, if I send the document through email to someone else the
character are not there.

What could be causing this.
 
What kind of funny characters? Are they cartoon paperclips that wink at you
or Einstein? This is the office assistant. You can turn it off click >Help

I had a similar thing happen to me yesterday - someone brought me a copy of a
template they printed - a "square" appeared in the middle of the document the
first time she printed it - the second time she printed the document - it
appeared in a different place - the third time she printed it - it was gone.
Also, on a completely different document the "square" showed up again but had
the words "formtext" after it. When I unprotected and looked at the document
there was nothing out of the ordinary. You can't see these weird things when
you view the document online, they only show up - and not every time - when
you print. This leads me to believe that it is a print driver issue. I'm
having her print to a different printer for a while to rule this out.
