Re: Can't delete

Thanks Jay,
As you said TRK is highlighted in Status Bar.
But surprisingly I cant turn it off as you said. I can do it in my other
documents, but cant do it in this document.
I can turn on and off REC and EXT in Status Bar but cant do anything with
OVR in this document.
It seems as though these button has been locked.
Any Idea why I cannot change the TRK feature.
Regards.

You've accidentally turned on the Track Changes feature, probably by
pressing Ctrl+Shift+E when you meant to press something else.

First turn off Track changes by pressing Ctrl+Shift+E again. (In the
status bar at the bottom of the screen, the letters TRK should go from
black to gray.)

Then locate the Accept Change button on the Reviewing toolbar. Click
the down arrow on its right side and select Accept All Changes in
Document. That will convert all the changes you've already made into
regular text.

For future reference, see

I am facing a strange problem.
I had copied a passage from net in word.
Generally I can always edit the page as per my requirements.
But in this case whenever I try to erase I cannot erase.
Whenever I try to erase instead of erasing, word simply strikes out the
sentence or line in red color.
Anything that I try to add also comes in red.
Knowingly I have not made any changes.
My other documents are working perfectly.
Kindly help me to get out of this predicament.
Thanks.
