I keep having to uncheck "highlight changes"

[rogercorke]

Can anyone help me? I'm working on a long document which I am constantly revising but I don't want to keep my changes. Every time I open the document, some of the old changes are still there.

I have gone to Tools, Track Changes, Highlight Changes and unchecked all the four boxes there. I have then clicked Options and put None in every possible option. But when I close the document and open it again, some of the old changes are still there and when I go back to Tools, Track Changes, Highlight Changes, the two bottom boxes (Highlight Changes on Screen and Highlight Changes in Printed Document) are still checked and I have to uncheck them again to lose the old changes!

How do I stop this happening? I'm fed up with unchecking the box every time I open the document and worried that, when I eventually submit this document for publication, the person receiving it will also see all the old changes too.

Thank you in advance for your help

You have to Accept or Reject the changes; otherwise they'll remain in the document.

Hi Paul

Thanks so much. Only Microsoft could put the Accept or Reject Changes buttons in a completely different place from the Track Changes button.
