Getting Rid of 'Track Changes' indicator line.

Windows 10. Word 2013.
The following happened:
Somehow the 'Track Changes' menu was turned on and changes which I had made began to appear in red with a line under them.  
In the 'Track Changes Menu there are two options: 'Track Changes', and 'Lock Changes'.
I selected 'lock changes' and deleted the text which showed in red and then re-entered the correction.
Now the red text with underlining no longer appears.
However on the left margin of the document there is a vertical line showing where the correction had been made. How do I get rid of this line (which appears in  left margin adjacent to  where changes have been made).

Joe that is exactly what I needed. I have done it. So simple and yet so puzzling without the know-how. What am I to do about points, as I closed the question before receiving your post. Can I do anything to give you points? Anyway thanks, again.
I  have ticked the 'Best Solution' under your post.
Hi Michael,
I'm very glad that worked for you. I'm not worried about the points, but the question doesn't show as closed, even though you ticked "Best Solution" under my post. Could be a glitch in the EE closing process. I'll report the question and I'm sure that an EE Mod will get it sorted. In any case, I'm happy to know that it is exactly what you needed. Regards, Joe
Hi Michael,
Moderato is spot-on...there are more steps. These two EE support articles are very helpful in explaining the full closing process:

How do I accept a comment as my solution?
How do I accept multiple comments as my solution?

Hope I got it right. Thanks again
You're welcome, Michael. Yes, you got it right! :)  Regards, Joe
