I would expect the viewer to show the document as Word would show it. If the
document is marked as "Track changes while editing" but *not* "Highlight
changes on screen" *or* "Highlight changes in printed document" then the
viewer should not show changes. I consider that changes are shown in viewer,
despite the document is flagged to not show them, a bug.

Comments are somewhat different, I wouldn't think they'd be handled as
anything other than "hidden text"--which is handled as a user (not document)
setting--and wouldn't be surprised to see comments in viewer.

The Word 97 viewer is the only useful Word document viewer I've found.

Hi Pasmatos,

The Viewer shows the 'as is' document content
and basically doesn't support customization
and has no automation (macro control) capability.

You can accept the comments or tracked changes
in Word prior to saving the document. If unresolved, tracked
changes are present in a Word document you'd see
them if you sent them to someone who had Word
or Word viewer.
