Can't view track changes
In Word 2007 I can make track changes to a document and add comments.
However, when I save the document and open it again, I can't see the track changes I have made, only the comments. I didn't think this was possible so I am a little confused. If I send the document to someone else they can view the changes and comments normally. Also, if someone else sends me a document with track changes, I can't view them either. Any help would be much appreciated. |

Can't view track changes
In the Tracking group of the Review tab, there's a dropdown called
"Show Markup," where you tell it to show Insertions and Deletions. That, however, is supposed to be on whenever you open a document containing tracked changes -- which suggests that the option to override that is checked. It's buried so deeply in the Options that I can't find it now! On Sep 17, 12:46*pm, DannyP wrote: In Word 2007 I can make track changes to a document and add comments.

Can't view track changes
In the Word Options dialog box, click the Trust Center category. Click Trust
Center Settings. In the Privacy Options category, make sure there is a check mark next to "Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving" and click OK twice. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Peter T.

I had to click on "track changes" "change tracking options".
Then under "insertions", I changed from "none" to "color only". Then under "deletions", I changed from "none" to "strike-through". Lastly, under "use balloons" I changed from "never" to "only for comments/formatting. Hope that helps. Atma Quote:

Answer: Can't view track changes
It sounds like the Track Changes feature is not being displayed in your Word document. Here are some steps you can take to try and resolve the issue:
If none of these steps work, it may be a problem with your Word installation. You can try repairing or reinstalling Word to see if that resolves the issue.
