Track Changes - Off Permanently
Vista - Word 2007 -once you have turned on the track changes within a
document there seems to be no way to turn it off. I have "accepted all changes", reviewed the document in "final", and have track changes "OFF" on the lower toolbar - is this a glitch and am I fighting an losing battle? |

Track Changes - Off Permanently
I've never had that problem; try clicking the "next change" arrow to
see if it takes you to changes in footnotes or something like that. (If you've Accepted All Changes, it should report that there are no tracked changes in the document.) Are you saying that when Track Changes is marked as off, it's still tracking your changes?

Track Changes - Off Permanently
The document has been created by someone else in the company and has come to
me for finalization. When I open it - it shows the changes and the default goes to "Final Showing Markup" - I then Accept all changes, change the default to Final and the Track Changes on the lower toolbar is "off" and then I save it (which it then tells me that I am saving a document with track changes on) - when I close it and reopen it reverts back to "Final Showing Markup" etc., etc., etc., - like I have done nothing to the document. It is driving me nuts!!!!!!! "grammatim" wrote: I've never had that problem; try clicking the "next change" arrow to see if it takes you to changes in footnotes or something like that.

I (and evidently you) don't know what you're clicking on, but you
have NOT accepted all tracked changes and deleted all comments. Emaleth wrote: The document has been created by someone else in the company and has come to me for finalization.

(It isn't a "default" of Final -- the default is actually "Final
Showing Markup," to warn you of problems exactly like the one you seem to be having. If there isn't any markup, it won't offer you the option of showing markup.) Have you tried turning Track Changes off with Ctrl-Shift-E? Maybe your status bar is broken?? or by clicking the icon in the ribbon? What happens when you click the arrow to go to the next change? Can you then accept each change individually?

Thanks, I'll try Ctrl+Shift+E - I haven't tried a short cut key.
Yes, I know if shouldn't default to Final-showing... but that is what's happening - it "defaults" to that each time I open the document.

Yes, it _should_ default to Final-Showing.
What happens after you Accept All Changes if you click the "go to next change" arrow? On Apr 20, 3:31*pm, Emaleth wrote: Thanks, I'll try Ctrl+Shift+E - I haven't tried a short cut key.

No, YOU don't know what YOU are talking about. It is IMPOSSIBLE
to "accept comments" in Word 2007, so it is IMPOSSIBLE for you to "have accepted the comments several times". YOU don't know the difference between "accept change" and "accept all changes". YOU don't know the difference between changing to Final view and accepting all tracked changes. You just proved once again that one can lead a jackass to water but one can't make it drink.

Hey there. It is in fact a glitch. The author is the only person who can
turn this off permanently. It is very very frustrating. "Emaleth" wrote: Vista - Word 2007 -once you have turned on the track changes within a document there seems to be no way to turn it off.

Ladies & Gentlemen;
I have the same problem. My tracking changes do not turn off. I am using word citrix. Usually when I open the file does is in print layout and shows in the left side a margin with all the tracking changes. Therefore, I have to go to full screen reading and active the final document. The problem is the I save it and then when I close and open it again I have to active the final document again. Please help me to turn off permanently because it is giving me a hard time. Thanks in advance. Maperalia. "db" wrote: Hey there. It is in fact a glitch. The author is the only person who can turn this off permanently. It is very very frustrating.

You need to Accept All Changes. (I don't know what it is called in the
language of your version.) On Jun 18, 3:06*pm, Maperalia wrote: Ladies & Gentlemen; I have the same problem. My tracking changes do not turn off. I am using word citrix.

There are three steps to this: 1. Accept or reject all changes. 2. Delete
all comments. These two steps will remove revisions and comments present in the document. 3. Turn of track changes so Word will stop marking changes. Note that if the document has been protected so that revisions are tracked. You will not be able to turn off track changes unless you can unprotect the document.
