And if you want to be tracking changes and do want to see insertions and
deletions, just not formatting changes, click Show on the Reviewing toolbar
and deselect Formatting.

You've accidentally turned on Track Changes, possibly by double-clicking
the
TRK in the status bar at the bottom.

You need to Accept all Changes to get rid of them--see the appropriate
section of this article:
http://shaunakelly.com/word/trackcha...ngesWorks.html

And be sure to turn Track Changes OFF, as also instructed on that page.

This happens repeatedly down the right edge of the page for all manner
of
formatting. In the "View" drop down menu clicking "Markup" gets rid of
it
but when the document is saved and re-opened there it is again. I have
searched for, and unchecked, just about every options box I can find and
it
stll automatically appears and will not go away. I did nothing to ask
that
this appear in the first place. How does one prevent this formatting
stuff
from automatically being displayed?
