"Old Style" of Compare Documents
There are times when it is more optimal to use the Word 2000 style of compare
documents, ie, instead of baloons with the deleted text, the text is shown in the body of the document as strikeout, with inserts shown underlined. Is it possible in Word 2003 to toggle "on" the 2000 version and toggle it off when you want to revert to 2003 style. I have seen that this toggle feature is available for Track Changes, where you can use the old 2000 style of moving from change to change, so hopefully a similar functionality is there for compare docs. Thanks for your input. |

"Old Style" of Compare Documents
In Word 2003 all you can do is use Normal view to suppress the
balloons and see the revisions inline. However Word 2007 does contains the option to show all revisions inline in Print Layout view as well. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

If you have chosen not to use balloons for Track Changes, I would think Word
would use the same setting for Compare Documents. Are you not seeing that? -- Suzanne S.

"Old Style" of Compare Documents
A related question. The check box under Tools-Options-Security:
"Remove personal items from document on save" How can one make this permanently checked rather than having to manually check it each time? Or at least remains checked until unchecked. Right now, the checkmark is removed whenever a new document is opened. Thanks. "Suzanne S.

"Old Style" of Compare Documents
This is a document option rather than an application option. While you
can make this the default by setting it in Normal.dot, I don't recommend it. The one time you actually need it is the time it will bite you. I used to have it set as the default but after losing several hours worth of work by saving a carefully edited document and ending up with "Author" for every revision/comment instead of the review name I regretted making it the default.

It's a per-document setting (sensibly, since most users wouldn't necessarily
want it to apply to all documents), but if you want it to apply to all documents based on a specific template, change the setting in the template itself. -- Suzanne S.
