Table Of Content Problem - Some entries are being shown in red color

morland · Sep 6, 2009

Hi,

I am using Word 2007 with SP2

I was working on editing a document which had a table of contents. After making the changes (which took a few hours), I updated the table of contents. The problem I am faced with is that a good numbers of entries in the table of contents are appearing in red font

Interestingly some of these also include sections in which I did not make any changes.

Can someone please help me to get rid of the red colored entries in the table of contents.

I will be very thankful for your help.

Are the actual letters themselves in red-OR-is there a thin red line under a word?

Word puts a red line under any word thought to be misspelled. It does not change the color of the letters themselves though.

Edit: Found more here: http://www.ehow.com/how_2136058_use-track-changes-word.html

Step 4
To add in a missing word, just simply type in your text. Word will use red text with underlining, which cannot be changed at this point.
Step 5
When words are deleted, the word will be struck through and in red font. When words or paragraphs are moved around, a red strike will also be used on that word or paragraph's original place and it will appear in its new position in red font.

Review the rest of the information and see if this fits what you did.

Hi Bobbye,

Thank you for the reply. No it's not a spelling thing. That actual letters are appearing in red.

Just FYI, track changes is already off and I am already viewing the document in Final View. Just to be on the safe side, I already did "Accept all changes" but still no luck

Sometimes we just have to try some natty things! Try checking the tract changes again:

Click on Review tab.>Select "Track Changes Options" below> In the dialogue box, the first heading is "Markup". Below it, "color" appears twice. By default, it will be "by author".

Instead of "by author", select "Auto" or "Black". Then click on OK
Click to expand...

.

Obviously something changed when you did the revisions- it's just trying to find out what!
