Tracking Changes Won't Go Away!
Here's a weird one . . . (Word 2003)
I created simple one-page document. It looks fine in "print" view. I saved the file. But now, whenever I OPEN the document . . . it has all my previous EDITING actions indicated in RED BALLOONS on the right margin, or highlighted red text. I did not intentionally turn on "track changes", but it sure looks like that's whats in this document now! I can TEMPORARILY turn-off the ON-SCREEN display of these changes, by clicking "View" then UN-checking "Markup." Then I save the file. But as soon as I RE-open the document, the page once again displays in "MARKUP" view . . . with all these ugly changes. I've also sent this particular document to a friend, and the SAME thing happens on his PC (the default view is with all these 'hidden' tracked changes). QUESTION: How the )(*#$)(* can I *COMPLETELY REMOVE* all these "tracked changes" . . . and then SAVE the file . . . so NO chanages/edits are displayed to ANY user (including myself) . . . in ANY circumstance? (i.e. just DELETE them all . . and return to once again to a simple "no-hidden-comment" document?) QUESTION #2: How in the world did this "track changes" feature get turned ON in the first place? (Some mysteriou shortcut key accidentally invoked)? Thanks for anybody's help. PS: I can send you the file as an email ATTACHMENT if you'll give me your direct email address. What do you think? |

Hiding the changes doesn't remove them. You have to accept them. See

Thanks so much Suzanne
You've solved my problem wonderfully. As explained in that article, the trick was to click on the Reviewing toolbar and turn OFF all the "show" features . . . then resave the file. God bless you.

No, that is not the trick at all. The markup is still there. You have to
actually accept all the changes if you want it gone. -- Suzanne S.
