"Editing lines"?

[CLR]

Hi All...........

I'm new to Word03 and I just opened a Word97 document and it has all sorts
of funny lines in it apparently used for some sort of "change tracking" or
something.......anyway, they don't show up when opening in 97 nor 2000, only
2003. I can make them go away by doing Tools > Track changes > Show > and
unchecking All Reviewers.........but that setting does not save, and when I
reopen Word2003 and then the file, the same thing comes back...........

Please, how can I turn off this undesirable situation so it don't come back
each time I re-start Word?

TIA

You have succeeded in hiding the changes but not removing them. You must
Accept All Changes in Document, then turn Track Changes off.

Thanks for your response Suzanne, and exactly "how" might I do that
please?............this is not something I have inadvertantly mis-adjusted,
or got part way through and didn't finish, it just comes up that way when I
start Word2003..........it is the same in 2 different new installations of
Word2003, even tho the document was created in Word97.............I want to
turn this "feature" off permanently. I don't like software to "do things
for me" unless I request same.............please help.........

TIA

Assuming that the Reviewing toolbar is displayed, click the down arrow
beside Accept Change and choose Accept All Changes in Document. You are then
through with the Reviewing toolbar and can turn it off (right-click on it
and deselect it from the toolbar list). Turn Track Changes off by
double-clicking TRK on the status bar, by clicking Track Changes on the
Tools menu (to turn it off), or by pressing Ctrl+Shift+E. The last is
probably how it got turned on in the first place (wouldn't happen to me
because that shortcut starts Excel on my system).

start Excel?

If you have a desktop shortcut for an application in Windows (or possibly
any shortcut in later versions), you can define a keyboard shortcut through
the shortcut Properties. Right-click on the shortcut, select Properties,
select the Shortcut tab, and enter your desired shortcut key. Since the
shortcut key is defined in Windows, it supersedes the key assignment in any
application (make sure you select one that's unassigned or you don't need),
and it will start the program from anywhere you are in Windows. My use of
shortcut keys predates the Quick Launch bar, which is probably a more
efficient way to start most apps, but I'm so used to starting Word with
Ctrl+Shift+W, Publisher with Ctrl+Shift+P, and Excel with Ctrl+Shift+E (and
FreeCell with Ctrl+Shift+Alt+F!) that I haven't bothered to put them on the
QL bar.
