Default Now getting red text

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

Now getting red text. Also with balloon sayign "Deleted". I hit some
keys but don't know what keys. Cannot get around this!

Also commonly get selected text with F2 and have to close word and
reopn to cure - what does F2 do?

Can't do anything until this is fixed.

Thanks,
