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 |

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.

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.

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.

'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.

options dialog refers only to tracking formatting for the purpose of showing the markup. And as I described in my earlier posting, I have gotten that setting to stick. It was very frustrating when I couldn't get it to stick. I was just on the point of giving up and asking for help when I decided to try modifying normal.dotm. It works. My goal has been to _not_ see formatting changes in balloons. For Word 2002&3, I recorded a macro that would accept formatting changes and used it a dozen times a day. I still use it to get rid of formatting balloons in my old docs and in new that come to me. How nice it is that I don't have to do use that macro so often anymore. As for the Word options keep track of formatting, I've never noticed my setting not sticking. In W2003, I switched back and forth all the time, depending on whether my job was to clean up or troubleshoot a doc or to format or edit it. W2007 has better options for what shows up in the styles pane, so I leave keep track of formatting on most of the time.

Pam,
As we have both stated in earlier messages, "Track formatting" (as well as "Track moves") is document-specific, which means that if you change your template you will have the setting turned off (or on, if that is what you prefer) for all new documents created from that template. My point was that I have seen style modifications being indicated (in balloons and/or in the Reviewing pane) even if I keep "Track formatting" turned off. However, I just tested this in a new, blank document and I don't seem to able to reproduce the issue anymore. Perhaps I made a mistake the last time I tested it. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Pamelia Caswell via OfficeKB.com" u43222@uwe wrote in message news:9d6f7d2960384@uwe...

Thank you for the confirmation. I want to make sure I have everything correct.
Jan "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ... Exactly. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Jan Il" wrote in message ... Ahh...so if that is not unchecked then it won't make any difference in the document unless a tablet pen is used? Jan "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ... "Ink" refers to ink annotations, which are hand-written notes added by a tablet pen. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Jan Il" wrote in message ... Hi Stefan. In the list of the Show Markup there is a Ink in the list. I am not sure what that does. Jan "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ... 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.

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."

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 |

You, mistake? Nahhhhh. The problem I had before changing normal.dotm was
that the change did not stick in a document. It would be there throughout a Word session, but be gone after I started a new Word session. At least, I think that's what I noticed. It's been a while. And I did think you were talking about keep track of formatting in Word options instead of track formatting in track changes options. Thanks for clarifying that for me.

Hi, Stefan,
Yes, I tried turning off the display of formatting in W2002&3. It did not work for me; that is, certain actions would turn the formatting balloons back on while I was working in the file. I don't remember what those actions (or possibly accumulations of actions) were; it was 5 or 6 years ago. But that's why I resorted to a macro that changes the markup view to just formatting, deletes all markup shown, and then changes the markup view back to the default. Peter, I haven't tried turning off the display of formatting in W2007 as a way to avoid seeing formatting in balloons, and won't be, as I'd rather Word just stopped collecting that markup and because the way to make it stick is, to me, an unacceptable security compromise.

The first time a formatting balloon shows up is the reminder to me to
turn off Keep Track of Fromatting under the Track Changes Options. I'll try setting _that_ one in the template -- though since it doesn't stick from session to session in the same document, why should it stick there?
