Remove screen tips-OfficeXP, Word 2K3
I have a client (legal firm) who wants to remove the screen tips from
documents with tracked changes. They want to send it with the "red-lining" showing, but with no screen tip. They have just converted from WordPerfect. In WP it just showed the change but no balloon or screen tip showing who did what, when. They have already removed the personal information when saving, so the tip says "Author: ...", but they don't even want that to show when they email the document to the client. I have searched the help system and the knowledge base and have only found a way to turn it off. The problem is, obviously, that if the recipient has it turned on, they will see the screen tip over the changes. Any assistance will be appreciated - even if there is no way to accomplish this. TIA. -- Jennifer Dargis Morris Plains, NJ |

Remove screen tips-OfficeXP, Word 2K3
Hi ?B?SmVubmlmZXIgRGFyZ2lz?=,
I think the only way this could be accomplished would be a macro in the file that changes the setting on the recipients' machines (on open) and reinstates it when closing the document. But distributing documents with macros opens up an entirely different can of worms... A possibility would be an "in-house" macro that FORMATs a copy of the original document with strikethrough, red, or whatever, accepting/rejecting the changes as it goes. The client gets a "static" file; the original with the changes remains in-house. I have a client (legal firm) who wants to remove the screen tips from documents with tracked changes.
