The bookmarks are indented in the Acrobat bookmark pane? Just select the 
indented bookmarks and drag them out.

You can edit the bookmarks as well, if you wish.

If the document pages look as you expect them to and the only problem is 
with the bookmarks, I say fix the bookmarks and go on with your day. If 
you really want to know why this is happening, you'll have to dig into 
the Word file (initially) to look at how the headings are coded and then 
look at the AuthorIT file to see what artifacts are causing the problem. 
But if it's only a few documents I wouldn't dig that deep myself.
