Did you make sure to tell Word to treat your square brackets as exact
characters rather than as wildcard functions? In other words:

\[*\]

Here's the text about that from the Word 2004 help file:

"To search for a character that's defined as a wildcard, type a
backslash (\) before the character. For example, type \? to find
a question."
