Word 2007 Markup default
When a document is opened, 'Review Final Showing Markup' is the default.
I know how to set it to be 'Final' for a given document, but can the default be set to 'Final' for all documents? Chuck |

Word 2007 Markup default
Jay,
Thanks for the link and all-inclusive answer to my question. But, along the same line, I have 2 ancillary (maybe one) questions: (a) When the 'Track Changes:On" is displayed in the status bar, Help says one need only click on it to turn it on or off ... that doesn't happen; (b) when I go to Review Changes to accept all, the 'Accept' icon is grayed out.????

Word 2007 Markup default
Hi Chuck,
I don't have answers for these two questions. In a correctly configured, undamaged, and add-in-free installation of Word, these items do work as advertised. However, Word has a lot of "moving parts" and a lot of places for things to go wrong. I see in a parallel thread that you've had some trouble with Normal.dotm, although you don't say whether you repaired the existing template or replaced it with a new one. That's one good troubleshooting step -- check again whether Track Changes is still damaged. Another step is to disable any add-ins, most easily by starting Word in Safe Mode by holding down the Ctrl key, and see whether Track Changes returns to correct behavior; if so, start removing the add-ins one at a time to see if you can identify one that's causing the problem. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...artingWord.htm for other troubleshooting steps (not all related to starting Word), as well as http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm.

Word 2007 Markup default
Jay, followed your advice with the following results:
1. opened blank document in Word 2007 in safe mode, 2, In the blank document the problems were resolved 3. opened the document, containing all the changes ... the problems returned. Obviously a corruped document. 4. Since documet in question was created in Word 2003, I opened it again in Word 2003. 5. still no luck 6 opened it in Word 2003 in safe mode. 7. now I was able to accept all changes. 8. Opened the document again in Word 2007 ... everything now okay. "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ... Hi Chuck, I don't have answers for these two questions.
