Default Cannot Turn Track Changes Off!

Hi Trudy
One thing that does work for me when Word messes up a document without any
hope of it cooperating anymore is to click anywhere in the document, Ctrl-A
for select all, Ctrl-C for copy all and then open a new word document, format
the page how you'd like it [A4 / Letter etc...] and then Ctrl-V to paste your
document into the new file and save that. Re-open it after closing it and
that may solve the problem. It's not truly 'solving' it, but it might stop
the annoying 'Track changes are in effect' upon opening it...
Let me know if this works... [As I didn't think of it for that
particular document that failed for me]
Regards
J.

I've had exactly the same problem with word as well. Not sure of your
version, but mine was Word 2003... would love to know how to solve this one!

We have a document that somehow Track Changes were turned on. We have tried
numerous time to Accept All Changes and turn Track changes off. We save and
close the document and when we open it, Track Changes is on again. Please
advise! Thank you.
