Can't see tracked changes
I have a document sent to me by a co-worker. There are color coded tracked
changes, but I can't see them when I open them on my computer. I had another co-worker try opening it on her computer. She couldn't see them either, but two other co-workers could. I have no idea how to make the changes visible. I've tried either suggested in the "help" menu from changing the security tab settings so that the markup/hidden changes are viewable to changing the "markup" view, etc. Does anyone have any other suggestions or ideas as to why this is happening. It's not the first time either. I've had occasions in the past where I'd post a document to our internal server and I couldn't see any tracked changes, but others could. Help!!! |

Can't see tracked changes
What view are you using, and what version of Word? If this is Word 2002 or
later and you are in Print Layout view, you should (by default) see some changes (insertions) marked in the text and some (deletions) in "balloons" in the margin, assuming you are in Final Showing Markup view. In Normal view, you should (by default) see insertions underlined and deletions struck through. In earlier versions, you'll get the underlining and strikethrough in any view (when you are showing markup). Note, however, that the formatting of insertions and deletions is specific to your computer, so the way anyone else sees the document is irrelevant. Go to Tools | Options | Track Changes and see what formatting is selected for insertions and deletions on *your* machine. Note that the colors you see may not be the same as anyone else's. -- Suzanne S.
