Answer 1

Hi, @MADISON ELIZABETH CZURYLO

Welcome to Q&A forum ~
But could you please share us with more information about you issue, such as the related screenshots? This action can help us better analyze your issue.

Then I have some qustions as followng.

• Is there any message next to the file name at the top of Word windows or at the button of windows?
  Such as "Ready-Only", "This modification is not allowed because the selection is locked".
• Where did you get this Word document? Was it created by yourselves?
  Please also go to Review tab > Protect group, click Restrict Editing > check whether there is "Find Next Region I Can Edit", "Show All Regions I Can Edit" and "Stop Protect" Option. If so, you can click "Stop Protect" and enter the password.
  
• If there is not any protection on your document, I suggest you save it on OneDrive, then open it via Word online for a test.

Any updates, welcome to post back.

It would help if you uploaded a screen shot of what you see...

One possibility, though, is that you have inadvertently activated Track Changes. It would mean (for example) that deletions are marked as such but still present in the text.

In Word for Windows, go to the Review tab. Click the arrow on the Accept button and then click Accept All Changes and Stop Tracking.
