Track Changes in a finished document.
I have documents that go through several hands making changes, when all
engineers are satisfied, it gets sent to the client. This looks bad when we have trouble getting the document to email without all the markkups showing. There must be an easy way to get these mark-ups off the doucment once and for all. They are easy to lose on my own computer, but when you send them on electronically they just reappear. |

Open your reviewing toolbar - click on the dropdown and be sure that "final"
is highlighted. "MD" wrote: I have documents that go through several hands making changes, when all engineers are satisfied, it gets sent to the client.

NO, do not do that. That just hides the tracked changes, but they are still
there. To eliminate them from the document, you need to Accept all the Changes. See this page so that you understand how Track Changes works. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/trac...ngesWorks.html Especially the "how to remove" section.

This just hides the changes. If recipients have the Tools | Options |
Security option to "Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving" enabled (as it is by default), then they will see the markup. The only way to assure that they do NOT see markup is to turn Track Changes off and Accept All Changes in Document and Delete All Comments in Document. If you want to retain the markup for later use, you can do this in a copy of the document. -- Suzanne S.
