Saving/Opening Docs with Tracked Changes
I am having a problem with saving docs in which I have been tracking
changes. I am using Office/Word 2003. Before saving, I clear all tabs under 'Show" on the Tracking toolbar, and select Final. Screen shows final doc OK, and I save and close. But when I reopen, it comes back showing all changes. How can I save/open my doc so the tracked changes don't reappear (however remain with the doc for future editing.)?? Tried a lot of boxes under Tools/Options, but can't seem to find the right one. Thanks all Dave |

Saving/Opening Docs with Tracked Changes
You can clear the check box for "Make hidden markup visible when opening or
saving," but there's a reason it's on the Security tab of Tools | Options. Also, some users report that clearing this box does not make Word open in Final view. -- Suzanne S.

Well, um, er, ah - maybe I better ask why it's on the Security tab before I
do anything rash. Dave "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Saving/Opening Docs with Tracked Changes
It's there to protect you from yourself--to save you the embarrassment (or
even legal liability) of inadvertently sending out a document containing comments or tracked changes. This setting is a response to indignation from some highly placed government agencies (and many others) when they found that mischief makers (or anyone with any sense) could view their innermost thoughts, which they had not removed by accepting all changes and deleting all comments before sending documents out as email attachments or posting them online. -- Suzanne S.
