Mail Merge Fields Show Up As Track Changes When its Turned Off

[zoysiaspp]

I am using mail merge in word with microsoft excel as my database. I have done this for years with no problems. Now, whenever I use mail merge in word the fields will automatically show up as track changes even though track changes is turned off. After accepting the changes, track changes reappear when I go to finish and merge the document either as an email or a new document. This hasn't happened in the past but has been problematic the past couple of months suggesting that I made some kind of setting change recently. I have tried changing various things to fix the problem with no luck. Any suggestions.

Thanks!
