I'm trying to make changes to a documen created in Word. We have Word 9.0

When I highlight a word to delete and hit delete or go to end of word and
press the back space button.. the word highlihts in red and has a line thru
it.. don't know how to correct this

Thanks for help.

I hate Word. I won't use it if I don't have to. But I think you may have
"Track Changes" turned on, or something like that.

One of the functions in Word allows people to track the changes that
are made in a shared document. This is an option in the program
settings and the Tools menu to "Track Changes."
It is showing you a word that has been deleted, so that everyone can
see the changes that have been made to the document.

If you don't want to see the changes, turn off this function.

In Word 9 (aka 2000) go to Tools -> Track Changes -> Highlight Changes
and make sure that "Track changes while editing" in *not* ticked then
click on OK.
