How to NOT display user initials/version in body of document-Word2
How can I turn off the DISPLAY of the user initials and comment version in
the body of a document? (In Normal View.) I want to leave these in the guts of the comment itself, but I don't want my reading broken up by [XYn] wherever I've added a comment. In Word XP, the flow looked like this: (Shaded) This is text with a comment associated with it. Followed (unshaded) by text without a comment. In Word 2003, this is what I see: (Shaded) This is text with a comment associated with it[KL1]. Followed (unshaded) by text without a comment. I want the [KL1] to be included in the comment (don't want to remove the metadata) and in the tooltip, but I don't want to see it unless I open the comment pane or hover & get the tooltip. If I set the balloon view on for web/printer, then in print layout view the [KL1] does go away, but I'd like to not have that interrupt the flow in normal view (and I don't always want the balloon view in layout view, either). Thanks! ....Kerry |

Hi ?B?S2VycnlM?=,

Thanks, but I do have that option turned off. I also tried turning it on,
exiting word, then turning it off again. No luck. The only way I seem to be able to not have [Initials#] in the body of the doc is to switch view to print layout AND turn on 'use balloons'. ....Kerry "Cindy M -WordMVP-" wrote: Hi ?B?S2VycnlM?=, How can I turn off the DISPLAY of the user initials and comment version in the body of a document?

Hi Kerry,
Ah, I see they've taken "Hidden" out of the Comment Reference style's definition. But you can put it back in, so that it will work as in earlier versions of Word. - Select a [KL#] comment reference - Format/Styles and Formatting (you should see Comment reference at the very top) - Right-click on Comment reference, choose "Modify" - Click Format, select Font - Click on the checkbox next to "Hidden" until it's activated - OK If you want to turn this on for all new documents, activate "Add to template" before clicking on OK in the main dialog box. Thanks, but I do have that option turned off. I also tried turning it on, exiting word, then turning it off again. No luck.

Hmmm - This doesn't work for me on word2000. The "initials##" text still appears in the main window. Where I would really like it to appear is in the comments window. Can anyone help ?
