Text formatting in a Table not working correctly. HELP!

[Michael1105]

I'm hoping someone can help me with this because I am seriously at my wits end. 

I created a checklist style form for my employer and built a simple table into a Word Document and the fonts in some of the fields in the Notations column are bolding when I have set the font not to Bold. 

I have gone into the Developer Tab and established fields of entry with "Plain Text Content Control" and formatted the text as "Bahnschrift Light SemiCondensed", font size: 10, with no Bold.   

When I click the field to make an entry the "B" enables and I am not able to disable it.  I'veattached the file for reference.

Can someone please assist me in letting me know what I'm doing wrong? 

I thank you very kindly for your assistance.

The "Placeholder text" - Click to enter text has been formatted as bold. If you switch to Design view and then select those cells and remove the bold formatting, when you then switch back to the normal view, the text that is entered into the controls will not be bold.

Doug, Thank you again for your assistance. I wound up redoing the form and it seems to be working now. I appreciate your time.
