Many users of the Word program can use the edit mode. This mode is quite popular in editorial circles, when the work received must be sent for revision, while indicating all the shortcomings. And if you are still an inexperienced user, then perhaps you do not know how to remove the patch area in Word, or the author himself does not know. In any case, in this article we will examine in detail how to do this. Namely, how to accept changes and how to delete notes.
Accept changes
Before you talk about how to remove the patch area in Word, you must first familiarize yourself with the toolbar. In the tab "Review" you are only interested in one group - "Changes". It is in it that those tools are located that will help say goodbye to the area of ​​corrections in the document.
So, before you have a document that has been edited using the Corrections tool. You understand that you need to correct the text and want to remove the comments of the reviewer. To do this, in the Corrections tool group, click the Next button. You will be taken to the first remark. There are two options: you can click the "Accept" button or the "Reject" button.
After clicking on the “Accept” button, the changes made by the editor will be accepted and the text will be corrected. If you do not agree with the remarks and want to leave the text the same, then click the “Reject” button so that the correction of the text (“Word”) does not occur.
So, methodically, one after another note and delete, accepting it or, conversely, rejecting.
We accept all changes at once
So, how to remove the area of ​​corrections in the Word, using the phased acceptance or rejection of comments, we have already figured out, but what if all the comments are relevant in the text and you want to accept them all in a moment. Or immediately reject them all. Fortunately, this can be done.
In order to immediately accept all changes, you need to click on the arrow in the "Changes" toolbar, which is located under the "Accept" button, and select "Accept all corrections" in the drop-down list.
If you want to immediately reject them, then you need to do the same manipulations with the "Reject" button.
Delete notes
In the end, we’ll show you how to remove the patch area in Word if comments were made by other users. The bottom line is that in this case the above methods do not work.
However, it is just as easy to do. You just need to select the note that you want to delete, and in the group of tools "Notes" click on the "Delete" button.
