Hi. Somehow I've turned on a feature that inserts my
name in brackets like this: [Marissa](in bold and italic
type) before a letter that I type as an update to an
existing document. I've been searching help topics for 2
hours trying to figure out how to turn it off. Please
help if you can. Thanks.
 
You've turned on revision/tracking mode. How to turn it off depends on which
version of Word you're using. Assuming Word 2002 or Word 2003, choose
Tools - Track Changes to toggle tracking off/on. Or, click the TRK
indicator in the Status bar at the bottom of the Word window.
 
Thanks for responding. I'm using Word 2002.

I see where you're talking about in the Tools menu,
however, the choice for Track Changes is greyed out
(cannot be clicked). Same in the bottom status bar.

I tried the command next to it, ctrl+shft+E and that
didn't turn it off either.

Any other suggestions?

It's in "protected" tracking mode. Choose Tools - Unprotect.
