Removing Tracked Changes in MS Word.

Have you been working on an MS Word document and had the Track Changes turned on?  Did you ever try to remove the tracking so that when you send the document to someone else they don't see the tracking?  Most often people select the Final option in the Tracking menu thinking that it would go away even after saving the document.  The problem is the tracking still shows.  The proper way to turn off all the tracked changes is to Accept all the changes. The Accept feature is located in the Review ribbon under Changes.  Now when you save the document, the different colors and strike-throughs won't show after you save the file.  Thanks Pamela for this suggestion.
