To delete characters highlighted in grey in the "changes shown" version of your pretranslated text, follow the steps below:
Note: These are the steps for Word 2007. If you use another version of Word, please refer to Word Help to learn how to save a macro and assign it to a specific key combination.
- In Microsoft Word, view existing macros. (View > Macros > View Macros)
- In the Macro name field, type AutoDeleteGray and click on the Create button.
- In the main screen that opens, replace all the text shown with the text you will find in section Macro to delete grey.

- Save the macro and go back to Microsoft Word (File > Save Normal, close Visual Basic window).
- Assign the macro to Alt+D key combination or to any other key combination that you are likely to remember and that is not already in use. (MS Word icon > Word Options > Customize > Customize button beside Keyboard shortcuts > Categories : Macros > Macros : AutoDeleteGray > Press new shortcut key: Alt+D > Assign > Close > OK)
- In your Word document, put the cursor after a piece of text highlighted in grey and press Alt+D (or the combination you chose). All characters highlighted in grey before the cursor within the same paragraph should disappear.
