Film # 008217926; United States, Delaware, Sussex; Deeds, book X22, 1798-1802. 6635/8217926

Hi, could you please advise how to get rid of blue lines on the indexes to this book. The blue lines and other highlights throughout this book make reading difficult. Alternatively, if I download the image, will the highlights remain on the image.

Thank you.

    Actually, it is someone's crude attempt to index Deeds Book X22. I am using FamilySearch indexing tool to delete indexed entries, one by one.

    @jean4,508 Can you provide a link or image number that has the boxes so we can see where they came from? Deleting index entries is concerning to us.

    @jean4,508 Thanks for bringing this to our attention. The system is doing what it is expected to do. The lines and highlights show the user what the index/search is looking at. These lines won't show if you download or print it out. We did put in a request to be able to toggle it on or off.
