How to set a view/review mode for each file?
Hello,
Somebody sent me a file containting review/comparison marks, and ever since, even other files open in a review mode. I manualy go back to normal mode at Review, Final (instead of Show Final Markup). Is there a way to make it always be "final" automatically? Also, word opens some files in View mode of "print layout", while I need them in "draft" view. How to make it "remember" the viewing mode I want? Saving doesn't help. Thanks for your help! |

"Final showing markup" is selected by default (in the Tracking group of the
Review tab), but this has no effect unless Track Changes is also turned on for the document. Are you saying that it is, so that (for example) insertions are marked when you edit the document? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "ICM" wrote in message ...

Yes, it shows modifications after a certain point (even older since last
saving/opening the file). "Track changes" seems to be on - how do I turn it off? Thank you!

How to set a view/review mode for each file?
The behavior depends on what version of Word you are using.
The default for W2000 is to open the document in the view that it was saved in. The default behavior for 2002--2007 is to open the document in final showing markup view if the document has revision marks (tracked changes or comments) in it. The default behavior does not actually turn track changes ON (I mean, it does not start the collection of new changes.) It is a security feature to alert you that the file has changes and comments. As you've discovered, changing the view to Final is a temporary measure. You could also accept all changes and delete all comments in the files you open. And, to answer your last question--at last--you can change the default behavior by clearing the check box next to "Make hidden markup visible when opening and saving". That check box is under Privacy Options in W2007. I don't remember where it is in W2003. This setting would be for your computer and would not affect the document view when loaded on another computer. Note that changing the setting could leave you vulnerable to unknowingly sending information that you might prefer not to send.

To add to what Pam has said, instructions for turning off Track Changes and
Accept All Changes in Document can be found at http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/trac...gesWorks.html; the article applies to versions up to Word 2003. For Word 2007, the corresponding commands can be found on the Review tab. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "PamC via OfficeKB.com" u43222@uwe wrote in message news:870fac6396f41@uwe...
