Hello, I am a beginner with Word 2003. I have a text with correction marks in red underlined that I would like to remove to have the text in a normal black font and without correction marks. I mean that the corrections will be the final text since the original had errors. How do you revert a text with corrections to a "normal" version? Thank you

Good evening

It may be interesting to keep them without displaying them.

It's precisely made for...
The problem is that many users think they are permanently deleting them by removing the display, which has caused quite a few issues in the past. I say in the past because since the 2003 version, even if we hide them, by default the revision marks are displayed again when the document is opened.

As for me, as I just expressed in my new post, I believe it should be possible to no longer see them appear, but I don't know how to do it... However, I will continue reading the comments, but your response to Sonic69 worries me a bit...

If you are on 2013 (or higher, I think), here’s the procedure:

File --> Options --> Proofing
At the bottom, there should be 2 checkboxes. (hide "")

You can choose this exception for all documents or just the current one! I hope I answered your question ;)

Hello,
Just click on the menu bar on "TOOLS" > Spelling and Grammar and activate "Ignore" or "Change" > OK and the underlines will be removed. See you later!

Hello,

The revision marks have nothing to do with spelling or grammar...

Hello,

The correction marks will remain until you accept or reject the corrections.

On the Review toolbar, you have two buttons: Accept and Reject, each of these buttons has a dropdown arrow allowing you to ACCEPT ALL or REJECT ALL.

Be careful, toggling the display with or without marks does not remove the marks.

Good evening,

No, as I said, the display is, as the name suggests, just a matter of display... It's not what permanently removes the revision marks...

Good evening M@rina

Hmm! So my direct question is:

Is it possible or not in MS OFFICE 2013 to permanently remove the appearance of these marks?

And if not... then why this command "Accept all changes and stop tracking"? Which, all in all, doesn't seem to work....

Hello,

At the risk of repeating myself, as long as we haven't accepted or rejected all the revisions, they will reappear. Even if there's a way to hide them (a somewhat hidden option), they will still exist and will show up on another computer.

@ Marina :
Fortunately, I send PDF versions of my cover letters when applying for a job because I use a "template" for the formatting that I modify based on the employer and the position.
Micro$oft, or how to ruin my life by treating me like an idiot unable to know whether the changes I make to a document are valid.
The FIRST thing I do before modifying a document, for over 20 years, is "save as" under another name to ensure I don’t mess up the original document. It’s not like I’ll lose this habit anytime soon.
And those $£@%ùµ at Micro$oft ruin BOTH documents: the original ONE AND the new one!!!!!
If this continues, I might go back to Open Office, you know... and God knows how much it pains me to write that...

I'm sorry, but I don't understand this controversy surrounding this feature.
Track changes are originally designed for collaborative work (even if you're allowed to use them alone! ;)).
They allow a proofreader to make comments, edits, etc. And they expect someone to approve these corrections. For work, you can show or hide them, just to see what it looks like, or to edit the document without being distracted by these marks.
Once the corrections have been approved (or rejected) by the final user, it's time to delete the marks, and to delete them permanently, you have to either accept or reject them.

It's a work choice.
No one is required to work with these marks!!!! When we do, it's voluntary.

So, I don't see how Microsoft is ruining users' lives with this, since it's an interesting feature (particularly for legal services, by the way, which use it a lot) and it's not mandatory at all.
By the way, this feature also exists on Open Office.

That being said, you are completely right to send your documents as PDFs, for multiple reasons, by the way.

I'm using 2007 so I can't push you very far, maybe there's a button in the right-click menu, or otherwise in the correction interface

In any case, there's a button ^^

But I can't tell you more, sorry
