This has been happening to me too and driving me nuts. I accidently figured it out today.

I placed a Word file into ID and it had those pesky squares in the story editor. The file had a table with the text – once I removed the table, the squares disappeared! Oddly, when I copied the text into a new ID file, the squares were not there. But when I copied back into the original file, they appeared again.

I also exported to an IDML file to see if my ID file was corrupt but that didn’t solve the problem.
