Deleting in Word 07

I am using Word07 and saving new documents as .docx. When I delete
something it remains on the screen but if I then select it says "marked
as deleted". I just want to get rid of it from screen and document but
it doesn't seem to want to do this. It must be possible but this version
of Word is the most non-intuitive I have ever come across.
Help appreciated.

I belive you have inadvertently activated Track Changes. Turn it off, for
example by pressing Ctrl+Shift+E. Then select the text marked for deletion,
right-click and choose Accept Change on the context menu.
