Track Changes set to FINAL upon opening a document in Word 2007
I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do the following:
I want to save my document with Track Changes still active, so that whenever someone opens the document, the Track Change view is set to FINAL (without markups). That's it. Every time anyone opens my doc now, it displays the markup (FINAL SHOWING MARKUP), unless I accept the change or turn off Track Changes. I don't want that. I want to keep Track Changes going, but I want it to be running invisibly. Instead, the markup reappears each time the doc is opened. Please tell me there's a simple way to make this happen. |

A document that contains tracked changes will appear with visible changes if
the user who opens the document has the setting €śMake Hidden Markup Visible when Opening or Saving€ť turned on (which it is by default). In Word 2003, you will find the setting he Tools Options Security tab. In case of Word 2007: Office button Word Options Trust Center category Trust Center Settings button. In the dialog box that opens, click Privacy Options. To change this, each user must turn off that setting. However, if users turn off the setting, they risk distributing documents with tracked changes without being aware of it. If you want to prevent changes from being shown to other users, you could save a copy of the document, accept all changes in the copy and distribute the €śclean€ť copy. -- Regards Lene Fredborg - Microsoft MVP (Word) DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Adam WF" wrote: I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do the following: I want to save my document with Track Changes still active, so that whenever someone opens the document, the Track Change view is set to FINAL (without markups).

At the risk of copping flak for even making the suggestion...
In addition to the information already provided, there is another possible solution. You _could_ put an AutoOpen macro into your document which would set the view to 'Final' automatically when the document is opened. However, then you face a different problem: convincing anyone else who opens the document that it's OK to run the macro. -- Cheers!
