Word marking text as deleted and not deleting

[Jesse13579]

Recently word, on one special text document it has begun to change text to
red and mark it with a line through it. The text will not delete and when I
try to cut or delete it word tells me that "the selection is marked as
deleted text" and it will not allow me to delete it.
