Let’s say you’re the original writer of a document, and you’re reviewing changes suggested by others. As you go through the document, you decide what you want to do with the comments and changes – accept or reject them, either individually, or all at once.

Remove tracked changes

  • The only way to get tracked changes out of a document is to accept or reject them. Choosing No Markup in the Display for Review box helps you see what the final document will look like, but it only hides tracked changes temporarily. The changes are not deleted, and they’ll show up again the next time anyone opens the document.

  • To delete the tracked changes permanently, accept or reject them. Click REVIEW > Next > Accept or Reject. Word accepts the change, or removes it, and then moves to the next change.
