Word 2007 formatting window keeps coming up

Question

I'm editing a table in a word document and I don't understand why if I delete a text this formatting box always pop-up.

how can i get rid of this? Please see attached picture:

Answer 1

It looks like you have track changes being used at the moment. Either you or a previous owner turned on that function.

If you turn that off, that box will no longer pop up. This is a link about tracking your changes in Word 2007.

Answer 2

If the problem is just with making them go away (rather than stopping Track Changes), try:

Review tab -> Balloons -> Show all revisions inline

Answer 3

To hide the balloons telling you about formatting, do the following:

Review tab -> Balloons -> Formatting

To stop tracking formatting altogether do the following:

Review tab -> Track Changes -> Change Tracking Options -> Uncheck "Track Formatting"

Answer 4

From Get rid of tracked changes and comments, once and for all :

1. On the Review band, click Show Markup, and then make sure that a check mark appears next to each of the following items :
   
   • Comments
   • Insertions and Deletions
   • Ink
   • Formatting
   • Reviewers (Point to Reviewers and make sure that All Reviewers is selected.)
2. On the Reviewing toolbar, click the arrow below Accept , and then click Accept All Changes in Document.
