This is particularly important when collaborating with a large group. When you’re finished, save the document with a new filename to denote the modified version. When finished, choose Reject All Changes to globally reject all the remaining edits.
If for some reason you don’t agree with most of your colleagues’ changes, click Accept on the ones you want to keep and choose Accept This Change from the list box. When finished, click Accept > Accept All Changes to globally accept all the remaining edits.
When you see a change you don’t like, place your cursor anywhere on the marked change, click Reject, then choose Reject Change from the list box. Skim the document toggling between Simple Markup and All Markup. In fact, this is the quickest and easiest way to get through the process. Now you can review the document with the multi-colored edits on or off as you prefer.Ĭlick the track lines to toggle between Simple Markup (red) and All Markup (gray). As you read through the text, click the track line to toggle between All Markup (line turns gray) and Simple Markup (line turns red). Simple Markup just displays a red vertical track line adjacent to each line of text with changes. Fortunately, Word 2013 offers an additional option called Simple Markup, which is now the default choice when you turn on Track Changes. In Microsoft Word 2013, choose All Markup to see every contributor’s changes.Īll those visible changes can be distracting when you’re reading a document. Also, notice the gray vertical track lines in the left margin, which indicate a change on the adjacent line.

Yes, this is PC-based, and Word 2007/2010 instructions.
Update March 2019: See below for the steps for saving as XML and deleting it that way. NOTE: Make a copy of your document and work on the copy. Update February 2013: If the watermark still won’t delete, trying saving the document as XML - see Amy’s instructions in the Comments (), and the following update immediately below. Repeat for all other sections that have a stubborn watermark that you can’t remove.Press the Delete key to remove the watermark.Click to select the watermark (you’ll see colored selection handles around the watermark text when it’s selected).Move your cursor over some of the letters in the watermark until it turns into a 4-way arrow.Double-click inside the section’s header to open it.Watermarks have always been stored as part of the header in Word, so: Word 2007 document with a stubborn ‘DRAFT’ watermark that won’t budge, despite going to the section and trying to remove it the usual way ( Page Layout tab > Watermark > Remove Watermark).
