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

I'm sorry to hear that track moves is not pleasing you. I've been looking
forward to using it.

About track formatting (one of the quickest ways to make me see red is to
have them show up in my editing files). In my experience, changing normal.
dotm does "stick" for new documents based on normal. Older documents have to
be changed manually. As far as I recall, once the older doc's setting has
been changed and the doc saved , it sticks for that document.

But since this isn't working for you, I hope you have a macro to accept the
formatting changes.

'Track Moves" is just awful. (1) It only works on complete
"sentences" (as Word defines "sentence") or bigger; (2) it doesn't
work on text of any length that contains Tracked Changes; (3) it can't
be Rejected with Reject Change (I didn't try Accepting, but if _that_
doesn't work, it would be utterly useless); (4) you can't make Tracked
Changes in a Moved passage.

(Track Formatting is just annoying. It insists on using balloons, so
even if you _want_ to record a style change or a font change, it uses
up space that the Comments need. And turning it off, even in the
normal.dotm template, doesn't stick.)
