Default Now getting red text

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

Can't do anything until this is fixed.

Thanks,

You have inadvertently turned on Track Changes. Turn it off, accept the
changes, and you'll be right. See

It's called Tracking mode... you probably pressed Ctrl+Shift+E. Press it
again to toggle tracking off.

If you're using Word 2007, look in the Review tab. If you're using Word 2003
or earlier, look at the Reviewing toolbar.

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.

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

Yes, you can turn it off by simply toggling Track Changes BUT it doesn't
remove the changes that you have already inadvertently tracked. You MUST
ACCEPT CHANGES before you toggle Track Changes off.

You have inadvertently turned on Track Changes. Turn it off,
accept the changes, and you'll be right. See

Unless you are actually using the modem (quite rare these days g), I
suggest that you disable it in the Device Manager. If it still continues to
pick up interference, then physically remove it - if possible.

Yes, you can turn it off by simply toggling Track Changes BUT it
doesn't remove the changes that you have already inadvertently
tracked. You MUST ACCEPT CHANGES before you toggle Track Changes off.

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
