Default Show comments in balloons and no mark up or review pane

I believe the *display* options are user-specific. However, the "Track
formatting" and "Track moves" options seem to be saved with the document,
which should be helpful in this case.

You can get this to work for you. (Set insertion markup to none, deletion
markup to hidden, and balloons to comments and formatting only. Also clear
the check box next to "track formatting".)

But note that track changes options are user preferences and that
documents
you send to others will not carry your settings. If your authors really
don't want to see the changes (it always amazes me that so many do not),
send
along instructions for changing the markup settings, or send a copy of
the
file with all changes accepted.

Hi All, Vista and Office 2007

I am running into problems with the reviewing toolbar, specifically, I
cannot get a version of a document that will show comments, but, not final
mark up. If I try to add a comment it automatically opens a reviewing
pane which I don't want. I want to be able to send my writer a corrected
version that shows my comments (notes) in balloons, but, it doesn't show
all the changes, and I also want that version on my screen which I can't
get unless I brought it to the newer computer this way, (from my old
computer). However, a doc that has been emailed to me and I am correcting
on the new computer, I can't get comments without showing mark up. The
document being emailed to me is in 2003 format. How can I set it in 2007
so that I can show the comments in the balloons and not have the review
pane or mark up?
