rid of the formatting distriptions on the side of my document. I just want
to be able to type my paper, make changes and corrections without all the
mess on the side, don't tell me what i did on my paper just let me see it.

I do not think you understand. i wrote a term paper sent it to my professor
she makes corrections and comment and i have to fix the problem. when i
correct or write more i have to use a different color, or mark through. when
i do this i see no color change but i get a dotted line and a little box to
the side that says what i did. i don't like this i just want it to show what
i did and not boxes telling me. it gets too confusing. please help.
