What causes the type to change from black to red in a word docume.

[Guest]

I was typing a document. I activated the filter key when I held the right
shift too long, and then clicked the wrong button (the one on the left - I
can't remember what it is). This caused NO typing to appear. After trying for
several minutes, I turned off my computer. When I turned the computer back
on, and returned to my document, and started typing again, the type was red
and underlined. How can I get the type back to black on my document?
Thank you
PS: the document is in Microsoft Word

I suspect one of your ill-timed keystrokes turned on Track Changes.

Go to Tools > Track Changes and turn it off. Then display the
Reviewing toolbar and click Accept All to remove the tracking that's
already there.
