Changes tracking
Hi,
I have a question. They just recently upgraded my computer to Microsoft 2003. Now, whenever I open a Word document that was previously created, it shows all the changes and I have to go in and accept all the changes, turn off the change tracking then re-save the document. Is there a way to permanently turn off the change tracking so all these documents wont open up this way? Thank you in advance for your time!! Chi |

What is happening is that you're just seeing the tracking that was always
there. This is a new security measure to prevent you from inadvertently sending out documents containing tracked changes. If you don't want to be tracking changes in new documents, ensure that Track Changes is turned off. As for the old documents, there is no way to get rid of the changes other than to accept them all. You can change the view to Final so markup is not displayed, and you can change an option so that Word does not use the Final Showing Markup view by default, but this does not change the fact that there are tracked changes in the document. -- Suzanne S.
