Recently word, on one special text document it has begun to change text to
red and mark it with a line through it. The text will not delete and when I
try to cut or delete it word tells me that "the selection is marked as
deleted text" and it will not allow me to delete it.

You're tracking changes, Jesse. Just double-click the TRK at the bottom of
the screen to turn it off. See Item 8:

You have turned on Track Changes. You'll need to not only turn it off but
also accept all the changes you've already made. See
