My Word document has an 'audit trail' of what appears to be menu selections
made while creating it (see below) , and other documents show the same thing.
Is there a function to turn this on or off, and if so, can anyone tell me
where to find it:

Example:
M6C:\My Documents\Thesis\Chapter8 16 Feb 04.doc
A :\CHA PTER 6.doc3
A :\CHA PTER 6.doc3氈Ϛˊ墖

Any help will be appreciated.

Petson,

FileOpen. You will see a window that reads Files of type. You likely will
see "Recover text from any file" in that window. This is the cause of your
problem. Change this using the little arrow to the right of the window to
All Word Documents or one of the other choices.
