Track changes (Word 2007)

[steveh]

Hi all

I had to send a Word document to a Government department for approval, some buffoon has turned on the track changes features and for the lift of me I can't get rid of it

1. Review - Track Changes - The icon shows whether I click it to turn it on or off
2. Ctrl+Shift+E only turns it on and not off
3. Show Markup - I have unchecked everything
4. Selected Final

It looks OK but if I close and open it again or email it to somebody the track changes are back on, why can't people just highlight things like they used to!!

You have to accept (or reject) the changes in the document:
- Activate the Review tab of the ribbon.
- Click the lower part of the Accept button.
- Select 'Accept all changes in document'.
- If you'd rather reject all changes, click the lower part of the Reject button and select 'Reject all changes in document' instead.
- You should be able to turn off (unhighlight) the Track Changes button.

I thought that proper office (2003) would put me in an early grave but 2007 will have me spiralling toward it faster. Thanks as usual for your support

I doubt that it would have been different in Word 2003...
