Word 2003 'Insert' box

[kernow999]

Hi,
I am in the middle of writing a word doc but accidentally pressed a couple
of buttons at once. Suddenly, whenever I type I have a red box appear to the
left and anything I type comes into that box and not in the text where I want
it.
How do I get rid of the box and continue with my doc please?

Thanks

I think I may have solved it. Somehow, it was 'tracking my changes'. Scary
for a while but seems ok now.

Thanks

Thanks. Didn't even know that existed, let alone how I got it working. I do
now!
Cheers

Sounds like you accidentally inserted a comment. Click back in the
document to continue working. Right-click the comment and select from
the popup menu to delete it.
