Track Changes interacting badly with Save
Well, I've finally finished editing the article that's caused all this
trouble. It ended up 265 pages (1.5 spaced), with 11 tables tucked into the last pages, nearly 400 footnotes, and well over 1000 cross references (and numerous passages in Greek). I use Track Changes so the author can see what I've done (usually they go ahead and accept everything), but in my cross references, only on the very rare occasions when the author has indicated a wrong section number for an item that's in a different part of the article. However, now when I open the file to put in the fnishing touches, many of the cross references appear as Tracked Changes, with identical crossed-out and underlined entries! (Where the crossed-out item is the cross-reference that replaced the typed reference provided by the author, and the underlined item is a duplicate of that same cross reference.) Is there some sort of limit on the complexity possible in a single document? Does Word2003 get confused as it approaches such a limit? (I have 1 Mb+ of RAM, XP Pro, and effectively unlimited disk space on a 250 Gb hard drive.) |

Check to see whether your document looks correct in Final mode rather
than in Final Showing Markup. Word in all versions has difficulty showing the proper numbering displayed when viewing in Final Showing Markup. This problem also can be seen in numbered lists as well as footnotes. If you are working on final touches, I would suggest Accepting all the Changes and going forward. If necessary you can compare two documents to ensure the results are what you would like to see. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Regarding the second point -- no no, it has to go to the author (as a
pdf) with the changes showing! On Jan 14, 6:33*pm, "Dawn Crosier, Word MVP" wrote: Check to see whether your document looks correct in Final mode rather than in Final Showing Markup.

Did you turn Track Changes off before accepting the changes?

Certainly. (At this point the editing is finished and all that's left
is formatting the bibliography entries, so nothing's being done that the author needs to be aware of.) (I'm not Accepting All Changes, because I need the redlining available in case the author wants to undo any of my editing.) Now I'm wondering whether "printing" the pdf would cause it to happen yet again, since printing causes an updating of cross references -- even though Track Changes is most definitely turned off. Can I tell it not to update cross references, without at the same time severing the hyperlinks as I'll have to do at the very last moment before sending the file off to the typesetter? (In the olden days, word processors came with heavy-paper templates that fitted over the keyboard to tell you what all the combinations of function keys do. I miss having one for Word2003.)

Insanity Track Changes interacting badly with Save
A definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a
different outcome. I finished editing the references and prepared to re-Accept every wrongly tracked cross reference -- and discovered that they had all corrected themselves. There were no longer any erroneous Tracked Changes, yet all the Changes that were supposed to show, showed. At no time did I even toggle between showing markup and not showing markup. OTOH, every one of the choices under "Show" on the Reviewing toolbar was grayed out, so if I wanted to hide Insertions and show only Comments, I couldn't. Perhaps if I look at it again in the morning, it will all have changed again. Word2003 is thus insane. On Jan 15, 7:20*pm, "Suzanne S.

Oh second thought, I'll leave well enough alone -- I don't need to
look at it again until the author sends me her comments. And given the length of the piece (the file is about 1.5 Mb, with no graphics of any sort), that could be quite a while!
