Turning on the "Highlight Changes" feature of Microsoft Word marks any changes to an original document. This enables you to track your corrections, or allows an editor to suggest changes that you can either accept or reject. You can manage all the markups at once, or selectively. Before you remove markups, they must be made visible on your document.
