One of the edited documents has red text, comment balloons and highlights. What are those marks and how do I remove them?

Your document has been edited using Microsoft Word's Track Changes feature. This easy-to-use feature shows you a record of all the changes we have made to your document, so that you can accept or reject each change.

The version with all the markings shows all the changes we have made in the text and formatting, as well as detailed comments and feedback from our editors.

The editing marks are decoded as follows: All modified text is underlined. Additions made by our editors, as well as erased words are red in colour. Finally, comments are displayed in pink balloons, and are linked to the text by pink highlights. Please view this image to to see samples of editing marks.

The Clean version of your document contains exactly the same edited content as the Tracked version, but does not contain any editing marks. If you are finding the marks a little too confusing, you could ignore the Tracked version and refer to only the Clean version.
