Track Changes
Can anyone tell me the reason why: I e-mailed a Word file (using Word 2000)
to someone. When they opened it (using Word 2003) it opens with 'track changes' showing, and the ability to turn it off (Tools/Track Changes) is grayed out. This file was saved without 'track changes' showing and e-mailed that way. Why does it convert to 'track changes' showing? Connie |

Track Changes
Hi Connie,
It's a safety feature in Word 2003 to keep from sending out personal/business data unknowingly. Word 2003 will also flag you if you are saving a document that has unincorporated changes still in the document to ask if you really want to do leave them in. If you have not accepted the changes in a document where tracking was on then the 'view' setting for the changes applies only on your PC, not to the person receiving the document. =========== "Connie Martin" wrote in message ...

Track Changes
This document was prepared and sent out from Word 2000. Also, the ability to
accept changes is grayed out. Can't do it. Does this document have to be recreated fresh to get rid of this nuisance?

Track Changes
? I've been using Track Changes for years and never had that kind of
behavior. Maybe it's when there's more than one user with passwords for accessing files, or something?

Track Changes
Hi Connie -
If the document has protection for Tracked Changes turned on, then the ability to turn off the Tracked Changes is not available through the Reviewing Toolbar. Instead select Unprotect from the Tools menu. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Track Changes
Hi grammatim,
In Word 2003 there are two 'privacy' choices in Tools=Options=Security that can help 'clean' the document (or at least let you know it might need cleaning) g when saving, and one that will turn on the Markup for viewing when you open a document that contains it. =========== "grammatim" wrote in message ... ?
