Hi,

I am trying to type into a pre-made chart my school provided me and it is coming out red and underlined even though I have tried to change the font color and it populates the notes section even though I didn't add a note with my name and how it is formatted. I want to be able to type normally with a regular color and it not be underlined.

    Track Changes has been turned on, so that your school can see which parts of the document you have edited.

    If you are convinced that it's OK not to keep track of changes, activate the Review tab of the ribbon.

    1. Click to unhighlight the Track Changes button.
    2. Click the lower part of the Accept button and select 'Accept All Changes'.

    If you are not able to turn off Track Changes, change the display option to Final so that you can see what your work looks like without all the markup.
