What part of it do you want to change? Have you looked at the options on the
Track Changes tab of Tools | Options? -- Suzanne S.

Is it possible to turn it off so that it does not track any revisions and
comments at all? To clean up every file by accepting or rejecting all revision marks and deleting all comments is a waste of time. The feature may be useful, but the user should be able to decide when to use it. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: What part of it do you want to change?

Track Changes is not enabled by default in any version of Word. If it is
turned on for a specific document, then it is because you or the document creator turned it on. -- Suzanne S.

If it is not enabled by default, why then does a form created in an earlier
version of Word and protected as a form (not for tracked changes) open in Word 2003 displaying the tracked changes? It seems that Word 2003 thinks the form is protected for tracked changes. My company recently updated to Office 2003, and this issue with forms has been a major complaint from many users. "Suzanne S.

You are confusing several different issues here.
'Protecting for tracked changes' is a setting that locks the document so that changes are tracked and the user can't turn it off from the toolbar. It isn't the same as just having tracked changes set 'on' (so any changes are marked), nor is it the same as having changes (insertions and deletions) showing up in the document. Word 2003 will by default open documents in the 'Final showing mark-up' view if there are tracked changes in the document (whether or not tracking is currently on, whether or not document is protected for tracking). If documents created in earlier versions of Word open like this, then it is because you were (perhaps inadvertently) tracking changes at some time in the past, and you have never accepted/rejected those changes. Word 2003 has a new view default here, but it doesn't turn tracking (or protection) on and it certainly can't generate revisions that weren't already in the document! I assume the idea of the new view default was to alert people to the revisions stored in their document to avoid embarrassment, though from the posts here it often seems to ensure that Word 2003 recipients see changes Word 2002 senders had forgotten about without even trying to snoop g. The only way of removing changes in documents is to accept or reject the changes. But if all you want to do is clean out the revision marking, without any backtracking of the changes you've made, you just turn off tracking (if it's still on) and 'Accept all changes' (available on the dropdown menu beside the Accept Change button) - you don't have to accept each change individually. You can *view* the document without the changes by choosing Final without Markup, but that will leave the changes in the file, and they will be visible on opening. -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "CarolChris" wrote in message ...

I've tried this add in and it won't install because it wants me to choose
"enable macros" in the installing process. I am unable to "enable macros" because that choice is not available disable macros is the only choice I'm given. A.Hinc "Suzanne S.

If you have installed the Task Pane Controller in Word's Startup folder and
have checked the box for "Trust all installed templates and add-ins" on the Trusted Sources tab of Tools | Macro | Security, you shouldn't be getting a macro prompt. -- Suzanne S.
