On the Reviewing toolbar, find the button whose tooltip says "Accept
Change". On the right side of that button is a down arrow. Click that,
and on the resulting dropdown menu click "Accept All Changes in
Document". That takes care of both #1 and #3.

For #2, are you really talking about a "comment", as in the command
Insert Comment, or do you mean a tracked change? If the balloon
refers to a tracked change that's a deletion, then accepting the
change will remove the deleted text from the document. That's the way
it's supposed to work.

If it is indeed a comment that you're removing, it shouldn't remove
the highlighted text. How did you remove the balloon?

How do you accept all changes?

Can my question #3 be done?

You can permanently remove the markup by accepting all changes (and
turning
off track changes).

I have a document that has lots of markup on it.

1.) I know you can hide the markup, thugh is there a way to completely
delete it so noone viewing the document in the future will be able to
see
it?

2.) I am currently going through the markup and deleting it one piece at
a
time. Some bubbles on the far right hand side with the comments in them
when
deleted also delete the body text it refers to?

3.) Is there a way to make the suggested changes in the body of the
paper
become actual body text? Currently it displays as red text with an
underline. Rather than having to type it over again I would like to
convert
it to body text.

Thanks for any help!!!!!!
