Situatie
Not every change needs to be tracked in your document. You can disable the Track Changes feature in Microsoft Word even if your document is locked. We’ll show you how to do that as well as how to remove existing track changes and print your document with track changes hidden.
Solutie
How to Stop Tracking Changes in Word
To begin disabling Track Changes so your future edits in the document aren’t highlighted, launch the word app and open your document.
When your document opens, in Word’s ribbon at the top, select the “Review” tab.
On the “Review” tab, select Tracking > Track Changes. This will disable the feature.
What to Do If You Can’t Turn Track Changes Off
If “Track Changes” is grayed out and you can’t click it, your document’s author has locked the feature. In this case, you’ll need the password (if one was set up) that was used to lock the feature to unlock it.
Once you’ve obtained the password, in Word’s “Review” tab, click “Tracking” and choose the down-arrow icon next to “Track Changes.”
In the open menu, select “Lock Tracking.”
On the “Unlock Tracking” window, enter your password and select “OK.”
To now turn off the feature, select Tracking > Track Changes.
And that’s it. The feature is now disabled.
