Hi, Stefan,
Yes, I tried turning off the display of formatting in W2002&3. It did not
work for me; that is, certain actions would turn the formatting balloons back
on while I was working in the file. I don't remember what those actions (or
possibly accumulations of actions) were; it was 5 or 6 years ago. But that's
why I resorted to a macro that changes the markup view to just formatting,
deletes all markup shown, and then changes the markup view back to the
default.
Peter, I haven't tried turning off the display of formatting in W2007 as a
way to avoid seeing formatting in balloons, and won't be, as I'd rather Word
just stopped collecting that markup and because the way to make it stick is,
to me, an unacceptable security compromise.
Regards,
Pam

Also, you can choose what to display (via the Show Markup button in the
Tracking group of the Review tab); the selections in that list can be saved
with the document but they will be ignored unless everyone opening the
document has cleared the "Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving"
option in the Trust Center dialog box.
