How to Get Rid Of Red Underlined Text That Wont Go Away In Word 2010



Ok, so I was at work today making  some hanging file labels in Word 2010 when all of the sudden my text turned red and underlined in the middle of the name that I was typing.  I had no idea how this happened and I still am not sure how it happened but I did find the solution and now I am sharing it with you. I hope you find this post helpful.


So from what I understand "Track Changes" somehow got turned on and this is what made my text turn red and underlined.

This is how you turn it off.


1. Click on the "Review" tab.






2. Then click on the drop down menu to the right of  " Final: Show Markup" under Tracking Changes.



3. Next select "Final" in the drop-down menu.


4. Finally your text should have returned to normal at this point.
