I NEVER want to track changes or comments in Word 03 - MAKE IT STO
I just was upgraded to Office 03. How do I get rid of the tracking of
changes and comments? I delete them and save and they show up again and again! Also - can those stupid "smart-tags" be turned off forever?????? |

This may help, if you go into the tools options menu on word, click on the
tab marked saved and it is located under the autosave function. that should work, not sure about turning off the tracking changes. Hope that helps a bit.

Thanks - now if I could just stop that revision toolbar from reappearing all
the time! Everytime I open a document, it comes back. ARGH!

Try looking under ToolsTrack Changes. I've got Word 2000, so it might not
be there - if not, look in Help for Track Changes, and it should tell you where to turn everything off. Ed "djrtowle" wrote in message ...

No disrespect to those trying to help, but however well intended the
suggestions offered thus far will not do the trick Re Track Changes: Once it is turned on in any given document it *stays* on until all changes have been either Accepted or Rejected. Then you can turn it Off & save the file. Reopening the file after that will not cause the Reviewing Toolbar to come up. Unfortunately, any other file you open which has had Track Changes active will have to be dealt with in the same way, individually, until you've gotten through them all. Keep in mind that if the docs are revised by others who turn Track Changes on, those docs *will* open with it active & the toolbar will come up... and you may not have any say in turning it off in a workgroup situation. Re SmartTags: Go to ToolsAutoCorrect Options - AutoCorrect Tab and remove the check for 'Show AutoCorrect Options Buttons'. While in the same dialog, go to the SmartTags Tab and remove the bottom check for 'Show SmartTag Actions Buttons' or uncheck selected items in the list.

Track Changes is only document-wide, though, right? Not application-wide?
(I'm thinking of Excel, in which I like calculations set to Manual, but if I open any workbook which was created with calculations on Automatic, it will reset the toggle in my application for all workbooks until I toggle it back to Manual.) So opening one doc with Track Changes on only means I have to deal with that particular doc, and new docs I create will NOT necessarily have Track Changes on, right?

The reviewing toolbar is the most presistent, but is you add the line CommandBars("Reviewing").Visible = False to each of an autonew an autoopen and an autoexec macro - http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm you will not see it again unless you specifically request it. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org djrtowle wrote: Thanks - now if I could just stop that revision toolbar from reappearing all the time!

Correct - Tracking Changes is document specific, not a global setting. New
docs will not be set with Track Changes ON unless you a) manually turn it on, or b) modify/create a template with T/C on, in which case any docs based on that template will have T/C turned on automatically. BTW- I forgot one other Smart Tag (I guess because I keep *that* one on) - ToolsOptionsEdit has a checkbox for the Paste Options button if you want to turn that one off too.

I ended up creating a macro that accepts all changes so the document won't
show the changes when it is sent to others for dissemination and printing. Every time I open an attached document the toolbar is back. I really hate that.

As said, To turn off Track Changes in a specific document you will have to
accept the changes. To make sure your new document does not start up with Track Changes go to Tools\Options\track changes and put everything on never and none. for samrt tags: go to tools\options\view and empty the checkbox before smart tags.
