Default "Old Style" of Compare Documents

It's a per-document setting (sensibly, since most users wouldn't necessarily
want it to apply to all documents), but if you want it to apply to all
documents based on a specific template, change the setting in the template
itself.

A related question. The check box under Tools-Options-Security:

"Remove personal items from document on save"

How can one make this permanently checked rather than having to manually
check it each time? Or at least remains checked until unchecked. Right

now,
the checkmark is removed whenever a new document is opened. Thanks.

If you have chosen not to use balloons for Track Changes, I would think

Word
would use the same setting for Compare Documents. Are you not seeing

that?

There are times when it is more optimal to use the Word 2000 style of

compare
documents, ie, instead of baloons with the deleted text, the text is

shown
in
the body of the document as strikeout, with inserts shown underlined.

Is it possible in Word 2003 to toggle "on" the 2000 version and toggle

it
off when you want to revert to 2003 style.

I have seen that this toggle feature is available for Track Changes,

where
you can use the old 2000 style of moving from change to change, so

hopefully
a similar functionality is there for compare docs.

Thanks for your input.
