Track changes showing formatting
I have a user who swears she unticks the formatting in the show track changes
when she prints. Very often it actually still prints the formatting changes. Is this possible or has anyone else even come across this. Thanks GwenP |

Track changes showing formatting
What option does the user untick? As far as I know, it isn't possible
to prevent Word from tracking formatting changes; it either tracks all changes or no changes at all. If the user is trying to print markup, but not formatting changes, she could accept (or reject) the formatting change before printing. If the user doesn't want to print the markup at all (but keep it in the file), she should choose to print "Document" in the Print dialog box.

Track changes showing formatting
In Word 2002 and 2003, Formatting can be deselected from the Show menu on
the Reviewing toolbar. If not displayed, these balloons will not print. -- Suzanne S.

Track changes showing formatting
Thats what I'm saying - she swears she has deselected formatting every time
but very often it still prints the formatting changes when all they want are the deletions, insertions and comments? "Suzanne S.

Track changes showing formatting
They untick the show formatting just before they print and then say quite
regularly that the formatting changes still print! Not sure but I suppose its possible that somewhere along the line the click on the tick box has not been actioned somewhere deep in the programming?

I see. I wasn't aware that the Reviewing toolbar offers more control
than the Track Changes tab of ToolsOptions. Thank you for clarifying this! -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Track changes showing formatting
I'm not sure what could be causing this. One possibility (though from
your description it seems less likely) is that the "Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving" option in ToolsOptions, Security tab is hecked. If it is, make sure to clear it.
