Turn on or off change tracking

Turning off change tracking does not remove changes that have already been tracked. Instead, turning off change tracking enables you to modify the document without marking what has changed. To remove tracked changes, use commands on the Reviewing toolbar to review and accept or reject the changes.

On the Tools menu, click Track Changes.
When the Track Changes feature is enabled, TRK appears on the status bar (status bar: A horizontal bar at the bottom of the screen that displays information about the current condition of the program, such as the status of items in the window, the progress of the current task, or information about the selected item.). When you turn off change tracking, TRK is dimmed.

Tip

You can also double-click TRK on the status bar to turn change tracking on or off.
Notes

If the Track Changes command is unavailable, you may need to turn off document protection by clicking Unprotect Document on the Tools menu. (You may need to know the document password.)

If you turn off change tracking in a document and change tracking is turned on when you reopen the document, you may need to modify the file properties. On the File menu, click Properties, and then click the Custom tab. In the Properties box, click each item, click Delete, and then close the document. When you open the document again, change tracking is turned off.

It sounds like "Track Changes" has been enabled on your document.

If this is a document that you have received from someone else, they want to know any changes that you make to the document and have enabled Track Changes. The document may even be password protected to ensure that any changes you make are noted in the revised document. Even if it is not password protected, obviously, they would like your changes to be clearly noted and it is poor office etiquette to disable it.

If it is on documents you create and you do not need it, just go to Tools>Track Changes (make sure nothing is checked in the task bar that may appear on the right) but, since Track Changes is apparently already enabled, it should just disable it. If not, repeat the process again.
