Change Tracking Tracks Changes to New Text - It's Crazy!
I use Word2002 with change tracking enabled.
Let's say, I type in some new text. Whenever I make certain changes to the new text, such as superscripting, changing formatting, there will be a change tag appearing on the _new_ text. For example I'm editing a document right now and the page is littered with change messages on a totaly new text which should just simply be marked with one tag, indicating it's new text. Due to the vast amounts of these unnecessary tags (I believe), just navigating on the page brings my reasonably fast PC to its knees with word pushing it to 100% CPU usage. It takes 1 second to jump just 2 characters using the arrows. There is a workaround: that is to duplicate the text by copying it and deleting the "original copy" of the new text. The new copy than just gets marked as new text, as it should be. However, I shouldn't have to waste time with this, especially when there are many changes in the document. Tagging changes to new text is totally unnecessary. How can I disable the change tags on new text? Please, help. Richard |

I might add, that that disabling View/Markup solves the groaning CPU problem
(in fact that's what I'm doing, keep switching the "view markup"), but then of course you can't see the changes and I still believe that tagging changes to new text is, at best, unnecessary.
