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.

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.

Unless you are actually using the modem (quite rare these days g), I
suggest that you disable it in the Device Manager. If it still continues to
pick up interference, then physically remove it - if possible.

Default Now getting red text

And this thread has drifted wildly off-topic.

Then live with the interference. There's no other resolution.

Then how would I be able to connect to the internet without purchasing a
wireless-N wap and card and using flats mate connection and pay the $400
disconnection fee?

Unless you are actually using the modem (quite rare these days g), I
suggest that you disable it in the Device Manager. If it still continues
to pick up interference, then physically remove it - if possible.

You hear mobile phone interference? Have you got a modem installed?

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
