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
