Ah ha! Thanks. Microsoft needs to do some homework - I clicked on Help within
Word 2007 and at one point got a message saying something like 'Note: You
must have Word 2003 installed on your computer'. Sure glad I didn't get
Vista...

I'm an editor working in Word 2007 and when I use track changes all the
deletions show up in the text with strikethroughs. This imakes the text very
hard to read while I work. "Help" tells me that in 'Normal' View it will show
the changes in margin balloons rather than strikethroughs, which is what I
want. But when I click on the View tab, I don't have a 'Normal' option - and
I've tried clicking on each of the options available but none of them shows
the deletions in balloons; all continue to show it as strikethroughs. Thanks
for any help!

You must have found Help for a previous version of Word. What used to be called
Normal view is now named Draft view. Anyway, in Word 2003 and 2007, balloons are
visible only in Print Layout and Web Layout views, not in Normal/Draft view.
