Tracked changes appear after printing
As far as I can tell, I have all viewing options on what would show tracked
changes. However, after I print or print preview the document, tracked changes appear. This is one comment in the document and I see that, but these changes seem invisible until I request I print. When I close the document after printing it asking if I want to save the changes, as if I made the tracked changes myself. What gives? Extra Info: The document is a 97-2003 document and I am using office 2007 |

Do the previous/next change arrows take you anywhere, or do you get
the note "The document contains no tracked changes"? Next to all the buttons dealing with tracking changes there's a dropdown that probably says Final. Change it to Final Showing Markup. If there are tracked changes, click the arrow below the big Track Changes button (Review tab) and choose Accept All Changes. Likewise, under the Comments button, choose Delete All Comments.

Tracked changes appear after printing
If this happens only after you print, it might be that the document was last
saved using a different default printer than the one you printed on. When you print, the print driver re-paginates the document. This re-pagination is seen as a "change" even though the only changes are in the computer code used to determine where page breaks occur. For example, my default printer is a B&W printer just outside my office. But if I open a document and print it on the color printer across the room, when I close, it asks if I want to save the changes. But all I "changed" was the printer the document was printed on. If this is what's happening, it doesn't really matter if you select "Yes" or "No." "Raindown" wrote: As far as I can tell, I have all viewing options on what would show tracked changes.

If you have "Update fields" checked in the Print Options and have fields in
the document that are updated at print time (even if "updating" doesn't change anything), then Word will see this as a change even if you don't change printers. -- Suzanne S.
