Cannot Turn Track Changes Off!
We have a document that somehow Track Changes were turned on. We have tried
numerous time to Accept All Changes and turn Track changes off. We save and close the document and when we open it, Track Changes is on again. Please advise! Thank you. |

I've had exactly the same problem with word as well. Not sure of your
version, but mine was Word 2003... would love to know how to solve this one! J. "Trudy" wrote: We have a document that somehow Track Changes were turned on.

Apparently, no one has an answer.

Hi Trudy
One thing that does work for me when Word messes up a document without any hope of it cooperating anymore is to click anywhere in the document, Ctrl-A for select all, Ctrl-C for copy all and then open a new word document, format the page how you'd like it [A4 / Letter etc...] and then Ctrl-V to paste your document into the new file and save that. Re-open it after closing it and that may solve the problem. It's not truly 'solving' it, but it might stop the annoying 'Track changes are in effect' upon opening it... Let me know if this works...  [As I didn't think of it for that particular document that failed for me] Regards J. "Trudy" wrote: Apparently, no one has an answer.

Is Track Changes really on or are you just seeing the Reviewing Toolbar? The
latter will be the case as long as there are unaccepted changes or undeleted comments. -- Suzanne S.

On the Reviewing Tool Bar, there is an icon near the right hand side that
says (when you hover) "Track Changes (Control+Shift+E)". Apparently, this is a toggle. After accepting all the changes, click this button making sure that it does indicate that it is turned off. Then turn off the Reviewing Tool Bar. I just helped a friend do this yesterday and discovered that icon. You could give it a try.
