Word 2003: Tracking Changes

[Guest]

I made some changes to a document and tracked them. I clicked off on View,
Markup so they would not be visible and saved the file and sent it to someone
else. However, when they opened it they could see all the markup. How do I
permanently get rid of the markup so I can send it to someone?

Hi Oceanmist

I made some changes to a document and tracked them. I clicked off on View,
Markup so they would not be visible

that's it: you toggled a _View_ only. This didn't affect the changes
themselves, they are still there.

and saved the file and sent it to someone
else. However, when they opened it they could see all the markup. How do I
permanently get rid of the markup so I can send it to someone?

You have to resolve all changes: Accept All will work in your case, then
stop tracking, Save.

Where is "Accept All"?
