You have inadvertently turned on Track Changes. Turn it off, accept the
changes, and you'll be right. See http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/trac...ngesWorks.html -- Suzanne S.

It's called Tracking mode... you probably pressed Ctrl+Shift+E. Press it
again to toggle tracking off. If you're using Word 2007, look in the Review tab. If you're using Word 2003 or earlier, look at the Reviewing toolbar. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Jason" wrote in message ...

Thanks - I still had to select Final on the new toolbar. How do I get rid of
this thing completely? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... You have inadvertently turned on Track Changes. Turn it off, accept the changes, and you'll be right.

Now getting red text
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. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Jason" wrote in message ...

I'm going to have to go back to a really old file and start again.

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 http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/trac...gesWorks.html? -- Suzanne S.
