MS-Word help please?

Question

I have an MS-Word document that somebody had made changes into it. There are red dotted lines connected to rectangles. Rectangles indicate the part of the passage that was deleted. How can remove those rectangles please?

Answer 1

changes can be tracked by the tools/track changes menu option.

You can apply or reject those changes by right clicking on the red box, and accept or reject changes.

Answer 2

Tracking changes as you make them
To note changes on the screen as they're made, simply activate Word's revision-tracking feature: Click the Review tab and then click the Track Changes button. The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+E.

With revision tracking turned on, simply start editing the document. Any new text you add appears in red underlining.

Text you delete is colored red with strikethrough. (Those aren't really text attributes, but rather are Word showing you which text has been messed with.

To turn off revision tracking, click the Track Changes button again.

The only clue that you've properly activated revision tracking is that the Track Changes button appears highlighted.
It's common for Word users not familiar with revision tracking to be frustrated with unexpected red-underlined text. This is simply revision tracking, which someone has enabled. To disable it, click the Track Changes button in the Review tab's Tracking group.

How do I accept or reject all tracked changes in the document in one step?
· To accept all changes in Word 2002 or Word 2003:
on the Reviewing toolbar, hover over the Accept Change button (the one with the blue tick). Click on the arrow you see to the right of the button. Choose Accept all Changes in Document.
· To reject (or delete) all changes in Word 2002 or Word 2003:
on the Reviewing toolbar, hover over the Reject Change button (the one with the red cross). Click on the arrow you see to the right of the button. Choose Reject all Changes in Document.
· In Word 2000 and earlier, Tools > Track Changes > Accept or Reject Changes. You can choose to accept or reject all the changes in the document.
