Hi Andy, sounds to me that track changes has been enabled for this document. I don't know how to sort these out so, but at least you know what they are. I'll now pass this onto someone more knowledgeable <smiles>. Good luck. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andy Collins Sent: Tuesday April 29 2008 9:47AM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Document problem in office 2007 Hi all - I'm writing a very long document using word in Office 2007, and a couple of strange things have happened that I can't resolve. Firstly, reading back what I have written, when I get near the end of the text, JFW says "inserted text" and starts to read in a higher pitched voice; if I arrow past this, JFW then says "deleted text" but doesn't actually seem to read any. Arrowing up and down in this area of the screen I get a message telling me when I have entered the inserted text and left it, and the same for the deleted text. As the text reads as I want it, how can I get rid of these messages? Also, most of the document is black on white [I get this info from using insert 5] but towards the end of the document it has become red on white, and from looking at the font ribbon [and I do have problems figuring out these ribbon menus, and never did use short cut keys in earlier flavours of word, so don't know how to bypass the use of the alt key and arrow keys to access menus] I can't figure out how to change from red on white back to black on white! Again, near the end of the document if I use insert f, I hear "double strike through" in the layout info; I don't know what double strike through does, or how to get rid of it. I would be very grateful for any help in sorting this out, as it is an important document, and I need to get it looking right. Office 2007 feels much less intuitive than my old word 2000!
