Copy and paste without tracked changes in MS Office 2013

I'm copying and pasting from a document with tracked changes to a text-only document. Previously when copying and pasting from such, text that was strike-through (ie, changed) was not copied and did not show up when I pasted. Now, suddenly, it is. How would I get Word to not copy the strike-through text from the tracked changes?

Edited slightly to better define that the problem is occurring when copy/pasting from Word to plaintext.


Solution 1:

Word handles this kind of strangely. Whether tracked changes show up in the destination document depends on whether Track Changes is turned on in both the new document and the source document.

Track Changes Turned On in the Source, Off in the Destination

This is what you want. Copied text is pasted into the destination document without tracked changes.

On in the Destination (either off or on in the Source)

The whole insertion is marked as a change in the new document. Useful if you need to keep track of what you've added.

Off in Both

This is the setting that causes the issue you were having, where tracked changes are copied into the destination document.
