Show comments in balloons and no mark up or review pane
Hi All, Vista and Office 2007
I am running into problems with the reviewing toolbar, specifically, I cannot get a version of a document that will show comments, but, not final mark up. If I try to add a comment it automatically opens a reviewing pane which I don't want. I want to be able to send my writer a corrected version that shows my comments (notes) in balloons, but, it doesn't show all the changes, and I also want that version on my screen which I can't get unless I brought it to the newer computer this way, (from my old computer). However, a doc that has been emailed to me and I am correcting on the new computer, I can't get comments without showing mark up. The document being emailed to me is in 2003 format. How can I set it in 2007 so that I can show the comments in the balloons and not have the review pane or mark up? Jan  |

In the Track Changes Options dialog box, for "Use Balloons (Print and Web
Layout only)," choose "Only for comments/formatting." Click OK. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Jan Il" wrote in message ...

That will cause the editing to appear inline. To print (to paper or
pdf) a document where the comments show but not the markup, under "Show Markup" uncheck "Insertions and Deletions" and "Formatting."

Good point, but note that the choices made under Show Markup won't be
preserved, unless the "Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving" option has been cleared in the Trust Center dialog box. This also applies to any recipients, of course: if they haven't cleared the option, they will still see the markup when receiving the document. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Peter T.

Hi Stefan. In the list of the Show Markup there is a Ink in the list. I am not sure what that does.

You can get this to work for you. (Set insertion markup to none, deletion
markup to hidden, and balloons to comments and formatting only. Also clear the check box next to "track formatting".) But note that track changes options are user preferences and that documents you send to others will not carry your settings. If your authors really don't want to see the changes (it always amazes me that so many do not), send along instructions for changing the markup settings, or send a copy of the file with all changes accepted.

Thanks, I didn't know about track moves (Nearly all my work is still in the

I am happy to have some place to start, and I believe all the replies here will help me with most if not all my issues. :-)
Is there any way to prevent the Review pane from popping on unless I click the Review pane tab on the Ribbon? I don't really need that to come up unless I want it. It seems to have a mind of it's own. Jan "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ... Well, thanks to you too! I wasn't sure what the OP was trying to accomplish, and you clarified it for me.

'Track Moves" is just awful. (1) It only works on complete
"sentences" (as Word defines "sentence") or bigger; (2) it doesn't work on text of any length that contains Tracked Changes; (3) it can't be Rejected with Reject Change (I didn't try Accepting, but if _that_ doesn't work, it would be utterly useless); (4) you can't make Tracked Changes in a Moved passage. (Track Formatting is just annoying. It insists on using balloons, so even if you _want_ to record a style change or a font change, it uses up space that the Comments need. And turning it off, even in the normal.dotm template, doesn't stick.)

I'm sorry to hear that track moves is not pleasing you. I've been looking
forward to using it. About track formatting (one of the quickest ways to make me see red is to have them show up in my editing files). In my experience, changing normal. dotm does "stick" for new documents based on normal. Older documents have to be changed manually. As far as I recall, once the older doc's setting has been changed and the doc saved , it sticks for that document. But since this isn't working for you, I hope you have a macro to accept the formatting changes. Pam Peter T. Daniels wrote: 'Track Moves" is just awful.

I haven't tested "Track moves," but I can confirm that "Track formatting"
isn't 100% reliable. It seems as if Word tracks the creation and modification of styles, even if you turn off "Track formatting" in the Track Changes Options dialog box. :-( -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Peter T.
