Need help setting this up?
If you'd rather not deal with the technical side, we can fully set up and manage your Microsoft 365 for you — including email, DNS, and ongoing support.
Even if Tracked Changes is currently turned off, there's a possibility that your document contains colored underlines and strikethrough, indicating insertions and deletions that were made as suggestions while Track Changes was turned on.
The markings are visible to anyone who chooses All Markup or Simple Markup in the Tracking section of the Review tab.
Remove the markings by accepting or rejecting the changes. Use the buttons in the Changes section of the Review tab.
