The bottom line is that you cannot control someone else's computer. If you
want to ensure that they see what you see, you need to either (a) send a PDF
with just change bars or (b) accept all the changes and insert fake change
bars as drawing lines.

Yes, that is exactly my problem. Each person has control of their own
Track
Changes.

I need to indicate where the change has been made, but not show the ballon
with the details of the change. Then I need to save it in this manner so
that
when others open it they see it this way.

If I set Word to never display balloons, it looks how I want it but it
will
do it only in my computer. Everyone else will see it with balloons.

Any other options? comments?

wants
to use the "old" view (where text is showed with strikethrough and bold
underline) should turn off the display of balloons. You can do this in
several ways:

1. On reviewing toolbar, click Show Balloons Never
2. Tools Options Track changes Use balloons - never

Say I send a doc. to someone, then I make revisions and I want to show
the
rev. line but not the balloon saying what the revision was. They have
both
copies so they can compare.

In order to show the revision line the balloons have to be showing. If
I
accept the change the revision balloon goes away but so does the rev.
line. I
am able to VIEW the document in the manner I want but I can't save it
this
way.

Thanks in advance
