word documents change when opened on another computer
What happens is when I open a Word document on my computer, any
changes/corrections that were made show up. But when my boss opens the same document on his computer, the changes/corrections are gone and it reverts back to the way it was without the corrections. My boss and I both have the same version of Word 2003 on our computers and we are both running Windows 2000. We are stumped by this and would appreciate any guidance or insight into this bizarre occurance. Thanks. |

You have track changes set in your document. You have it set to view Final
or Final with Markup. Your boss has it set to view original. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Hi Cheri-
When you refer to the changes & corrections "showing up", do you mean the actual content or the markup that results from using Word's Track Changes feature? If the _former_ it sounds like you and your boss are working with 2 different files stored in 2 different folders, but having the same file name. You're editing one 'copy' & the boss is opening the other. Possible?
