Track changes showing formatting GwenP 02.03.2006 11:32:30 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

Re: Track changes showing formatting "Stefan Blom" <no.spam[ at ]please.xyz> 03.03.2006 07:41:28 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.

Re: Track changes showing formatting GwenP 03.03.2006 17:06:30 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?

Re: Track changes showing formatting GwenP 03.03.2006 17:10:29 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?

Re: Track changes showing formatting "Stefan Blom" <no.spam[ at ]please.xyz> 06.03.2006 08:24:08 I see. I wasn't aware that the Reviewing toolbar offers more control than the Track Changes tab of Tools>Options. Thank you for clarifying this! -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S.

Re: Track changes showing formatting "Stefan Blom" <no.spam[ at ]please.xyz> 06.03.2006 08:32:31 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 Tools>Options, Security tab is hecked. If it is, make sure to clear it.
