Default track changes

I have a document that shows up with track changes. I can change to "final"
and the track changes disappear, which is fine. However, I want to turn the
track changes off completely.

Double clicking on the "TRK" in the status bar isn't doing it;
Accept and/or Reject the changes is greyed out on the toolbar;
Under Tools "track changes" is greyed out;
Ctrl + Shift + E doesn't do it;
Selecting the text and trying any of the above doesn't do it

I have tried everything that I can think of, in addition to suggestions
offered in previous "Posts" within this Forum.

Would anyone have any additional suggestions?

Thanks in advance - RPM

Default track changes

Turning off Track Changes just stops Word from tracking any further changes.
To remove the markup from the document you must use Accept All Changes in
Document (on the menu you get when you click the arrow beside the Accept
Change button on the Reviewing toolbar) and Delete All Comments in Document
(Reject Change/Delete Comment menu).

Hello Suzanne:

As always, my appreciation for your response(s). However, in this case I am
unable to either accept or reject all changes, in that the applicable
feature/option is "greyed out" on the toolbar. Any other suggestions or
thoughts? :-)

Thanks - Rod

Is the document protected in any way?
