Default Issue with track changes in Word 2003

I have to track changes on documents I send to another firm so that
they see the changes from the original, but not sentences I typed in
then immediately backspaced while editing the documents. Normally
sentences I just typed in just go away when I delete them with track
changes on. A few times I have had the problem where I have added a
sentence, saved and then realised I needed to delete that sentence but
it strikes through instead of just removing the text. I'm not sure why
that's happening.


You still have Track Changes turned on, and it thinks you're making
another change.

Instead of trying to delete the offending material, select the bit you
don't want (most reliably, by using the left and right arrows on the
Reviewing toolbar) and remove it with the X icon on the Reviewing
toolbar ("Reject Change").
