Unwanted border in footnotes

[Jeff Malka]

I am reformatting a document using a template containing the styles I need
in Word 97.

The document has a lot of footnotes. As I am applying the new styles to the
footnotes, everything is fine until all of a sudden halfway through the long
document, a left border starts to appear on footnotes re-styled from then
on. I checked the formatting for borders and there are not borders. The
same template does not create that border when used with other documents and
did not do so in this document until a point halfway through this one. So
there must be a weird code inserted somewhere causing this halfway through
the document.

Note: this document was originally a WordPerfect for DOS 5.1 document,
imported into Word 97 and saved as a Word 97 doc. This may well be the
cause, but how do I correct it.

Any ideas? Thanks.

I figured out the problem. When I tried to delete some text in that
document, instead of deleting it it marked it with a line through it in red.
So I figured it must be set to "Track changes". How do I turn off change
tracking?

Either double-click the "TRK" icon at the bottom of your
screen or use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+E.

Thanks. I used the shortcut. The icon is not visible on my setup. I must
have accidentally turned it on.

Not an icon, just one of the spaces on the status bar.

Thanks. I would not have known that.
