[removing all headers and footers[_2_]]

I am trying to permanently get rid of ALL deletion and tracking changes and
records in a long text file, yet when I turn off tracking, turn off markup
view, and exit and save my file, then come back in the tracking junk is still
all over my long file? Is there a way to keep this tracking off and to get
rid of all underlying records of it, all Word hidden codes (Like the delete
and addition codes too?)


thanks
