Changing 'track changes' default settings in an existing file
The Track Changes setting are specific to a given computer. You will see
documents according to the settings in your copy of Word, and others will see documents according to their settings. I think "By Author" is probably the default, so that's what novice users are going to see. The only way you can really help them is to instruct them on how to change their settings. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Amy" wrote in message ... I routinely receive documents created by others that require the use of tracked changes at the point that I receive them, not before. New documents that *I* create always have the settings that I prefer--inserts blue, deletions red--but the received documents are all set to 'by author.' I'm working with people who are confused/upset/occasionally panicked by the on-screen craziness of a file with more than one editor, and all they really need to see is what's going in and what's coming out anyway--hence my dislike of 'by author'. I understand that I (or anyone else) can change the settings during an editing session; what I'm hoping is that there's a way to change the settings so that the 'by author' settings aren't back in place every time the document is reopened, by me or anyone else. I guess what I'm asking is if there's a way to create what amounts to a 'default' setting for a single document that will then travel with that document. Amy |
