delete key performing function of strikethrough
i just bought the office home and student edition 2007 (service desk edition)
software today. I have two instances that confuse me. I have highlighted some text in a word document. The text had been pasted from either the internet or another of my documents, i then tried to delete a section. Both the delete key and the backspace key were tried. Neither of them removed the text in this case. Each one highlighted the text red and applied the strike through function. When clicking in this section it says that the text has been deleted but it is still present. Could someone please tell me how t turn this off and just perform an old fashioned delete? Also the program seems to give me a running commentary on the formatting i have performed, i.e. if i have changed the colour of the text. Could someone please tell me how to turn this off. |

delete key performing function of strikethrough
You have the Tracked Changes feature turned on (probably as a result of
mistakenly pressing Ctrl+Shift+E). The feature is described in the Help, and also at http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/trac...ngesWorks.html. To turn it off so no more changes will be marked this way, press Ctrl+Shift+E again, or click the Review tab on the ribbon and click the Track Changes button. To remove the tracking that is already in the document, while already showing the Review ribbon, click the down arrow on the Accept button and choose "Accept all changes in document". -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
