Default Now getting red text

THATS CRAP! I've already done what Terry said. Also I hear music and
vodafones interference only since there is no sound there anyway!

You're wasting your breath, Terry. Jason is hard-of-listening and has not
read Shauna's article and is determined not to understand how Track
Changes works.

Yes, you can turn it off by simply toggling Track Changes BUT it doesn't
remove the changes that you have already inadvertently tracked. You MUST
ACCEPT CHANGES before you toggle Track Changes off.

Yes - there is no simple step to turn tracking off!

You clearly haven't yet turned tracking off. And you can't get rid of
markup by switching to Final view, either; you have to either accept or
reject the changes. Did you read

Get rid of what thing? Tracking mode? It's a Word feature. You can't
really get rid of it. You can prevent Ctrl+Shift+E from toggling it
by reassigning Ctrl+Shift+E.

Look at the status bar at the bottom of the Word window. It will show
whether tracking it turned on. To remove it from that document,
click/double-click (depends on Word version) to turn tracking off.
Then accept all changes, and tracking is now gone from that document.

Thanks - I still had to select Final on the new toolbar. How do I
get rid of this thing completely?

You have inadvertently turned on Track Changes. Turn it off, accept
the changes, and you'll be right. See

Now getting red text. Also with balloon sayign "Deleted". I hit
some keys but don't know what keys. Cannot get around this!

Also commonly get selected text with F2 and have to close word and
reopn to cure - what does F2 do?

Can't do anything until this is fixed.

Thanks,
