Lock track changes and balloon view on document for collaboration
We are trying to track changes on over 100 documents for a local school in
Word 2007. We are able to set up the document, turn on TRACK CHANGES, BALLOONS and set the view to ORIGINAL SHOWING MARKUP. This gives us the look and tracking we are looking for...... BUT! As soon as we save the document, and then re-open it the ORIGINAL SHOWING MARKUP option is changed back to the FINAL SHOWING MARKUP view and the list of changes in the balloons is gone. We can re-enable the view manually, but the purpose is to set the document up so that when the end users open it, the document view is already set to show the change balloons on the side of the document. Any help is GREATLY appreciated! |

Just a follow up.....
If you turn on tracking, and then DELETE an item on the document before doing anything else, the DELETE option balloon will force the changes to always show up when re-opening the document.

Most people complain that even though they saved their document with
the changes not showing, it opens up with the changes showing! (The default is Final Showing Markup -- I wonder whether you can change that to Original Showing Markup.) In the Track Changes section of the Reviewing tab, first click the Balloons button. It sounds like you want the first choice, "Show revisions in balloons." (If _no_ changes are showing, then various settings under the Track Changes button, row 2 "Options," may have been changed to "Never.")

Ask in the VBA group. Sounds like you need an auto open macro. The
questions is whether VBA can address this. They should know. PamC GCS wrote: Grammatim, I think you have hit the nail on the head. We need to change the default to ORIGINAL SHOWING MARKUP. Anyone know how to set this? Most people complain that even though they saved their document with the changes not showing, it opens up with the changes showing! (The [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] show the change balloons on the side of the document.
