Hi Israel,

Not sure I understand everything. you also don't tell us
the VERSION of Word. But I'll try to make some suggestions

1. red text: Check that TRACK CHANGES is not turned on;
sounds as if it is.

2. The "translation" could be a function of AutoCorrect.
- Make sure you actually format the text with the
spanish language. In most versions of Word, AutoCorrect is
language-specific. So if you're typing in text formatted as
English, Word will use the English Autocorrect.

- Tools/Language/Set language will apply language
formatting to *selected text*. You'll find an article in
the TIPS section of my website that explains how to
properly control the language formatting in Word.
