Word 2003 - Track Changes
Greetings,
I have two copies of Word 2003. One opens a document and it looks normal. (This is my TabletPC.) I open the same document and the change balloons show. This is a locked document from my client. The icon for tracking changes is ghosted on both machines. Both machines have the Use balloons set to never on the Track Changes tab in the Options dialog box. Why does my desktop show the changes and not the tablet? -- howard There are 10 types of people in this world who know binary code... Those who do and those who don't. |

Word 2003 - Track Changes
Hi Howard,
I have two copies of Word 2003. One opens a document and it looks normal. (This is my TabletPC.) I open the same document and the change balloons show. This is a locked document from my client. The icon for tracking changes is ghosted on both machines. Both machines have the Use balloons set to never on the Track Changes tab in the Options dialog box. Why does my desktop show the changes and not the tablet? Are you opening both from a file saved to disk? Or in the case of the desktop are you opening the file from an email attachment?

In both cases, the file opened is the same saved file from the same

Word 2003 - Track Changes
Hi Howard,
In both cases, the file opened is the same saved file from the same directory on the same shared drive. No idea, then, why the two would be behaving differently. Both documents are opening the same view (Print Layout), right? If you were opening from Email in one case, then I'd say an option in Outlook was responsible. If the track changes button is greyed out, has the "owner" of the document activated document protection for that mode? (If he has not, then I'd worry the document has been damaged.)
