Default Track Changes not removeable

Odd behaviors on co-worker's Word:
Part one:
1. Receives a Word file (Created ??? version/Viewed 2003)
2. Changes are displayed (formatting, not comments) and the vertical line
down left side of page shows.
3. However, Accept/Reject changes button is grayed out so the changes can be
hidden by selecting FINAL, but viewed with FINAL Showing Markup.

Part two:
1. When viewed as Original or Original Showing Markup, each letter of the
text is replaced by a rectangle (same as on some character map entries).
2. Wierder: She emails the file to me and the text (not rectangles) are
visible. Corrupt file?

Thanks

Cancel:
Part one - file was sent as Read Only, so of course I can't delete the Track
Changes
Part two -- original was created with a font (Tunga) not on my co-worker's
computer.
Part three (you didn't know there was a Part three, right?) - One of the
Track Changes was a NOTE in curly brackets, i.e. probably a field, not a
"Track Change"

Thanks. Be well.

I'm glad you got it sorted, and thank you for the follow-up.
