I belive you have inadvertently activated Track Changes. Turn it off, for
example by pressing Ctrl+Shift+E. Then select the text marked for deletion,
right-click and choose Accept Change on the context menu.

I am using Word07 and saving new documents as .docx. When I delete
something it remains on the screen but if I then select it says "marked as
deleted". I just want to get rid of it from screen and document but it
doesn't seem to want to do this. It must be possible but this version of
Word is the most non-intuitive I have ever come across.
Help appreciated.
Denis
PS The word docx is not recognised by the spell checker - says something
about MS
