Tracking changes - showing user names
When tracking changes is enabled the balloons appear with the edits. Is
there a way to show the name of the user who entered the edit in the balloon, without the need to mouse-over the balloon? If so, where can I find the menu option to enable this feature? -- Thanks, Dave |

Tracking changes - showing user names
Dave, Sorry, can't help you, but I do have a related question. Although I
used to be able to see the name of the person who entered track changes using the mouse-over technique, this no longer works. I can't find any option in the customized settings that turns this off or on and the only thing that has changed on my system is that I started using a new mouse (possibly about the same time that this change occurred, though I can't be sure). Any suggestions from anyone? Konnie "davidepstein22" wrote: When tracking changes is enabled the balloons appear with the edits.

You can set the balloons set to show author/time/date via Tools | Options |
Track Changes, "include author, time stamp, and action buttons". If this is already checked, but (as on my machine), the name is too long to show fully--sorry, no other ideas.

Make sure Screen Tips is checked in Tools | Options | View. The mouse-over
comment is just a part of the many screentips in Word. If that doesn't do it, be sure to state version of Word and OS and whether ScreenTips are showing up elsewhere in Word.

I am using Word 2002. When I run the cursor over an insertion or deletion I
have made, the author (i.e., myself) shows up as "unknown." The "user information" is complete in Tools-Options.
