Removing markup from a document
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!!!!!! |

Removing markup from a document
You can permanently remove the markup by accepting all changes (and turning
off track changes). -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome!

Removing markup from a document
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? -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

"For #2, are you really talking about a "comment", as in the command
Insert Comment, or do you mean a tracked change?" I think 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." How can I tell the difference between a tracked change ballon and a Comment balloon? If it is indeed a comment that you're removing, it shouldn't remove the highlighted text. How did you remove the balloon? Some balloons allow me to select them and delete them; other balloons will not delete at all. |

To remove comments, click the arrow beside Reject Change/Delete Comment and

How can I tell the difference between a tracked change ballon and a Comment balloon? If you use the "Accept All Changes" and "Reject All Comments" toolbar buttons as Suzanne and I recommended, then it doesn't matter which balloons are which. If you're removing individual changes and comments, it should be pretty obvious which are which: The comment balloons start with the word "Comment" and have a shaded background, while the change balloons start with "Deleted" or "Formatted" and have a white background. (Word doesn't show balloons for insertions.) You should be able to right-click any balloon and select the appropriate command from the context menu: "Delete Comment", "Accept Deletion" or "Reject Deletion", "Accept Format Change" or "Reject Format Change". There shouldn't be *any* balloons you can't remove. I'll repeat my statement that deleting a comment (as opposed to a tracked change) should not remove anything from the document text. Tracked changes are different: - If you're dealing with a tracked deletion, accepting the change will permanently remove the deleted text from the document; while rejecting the change will restore the deleted text to the document. - If you're dealing with a tracked insertion, accepting the change will permanently add the inserted text to the document; while rejecting the change will remove the inserted text from the document. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
