Track Changes turned off, but still happening? Jen 6/16/2006 9:43:01 PM Even though I've turned Track Changes off in my document, sometimes when I make edits, track changes still show up. This seems to happen for formatting changes (like applying a different style, or renumbering if I delete an item from a numbered list). Is this a bug, or is there some way to turn it off? Incidentally, these changes are sometimes hard to accept - even if I select the entire paragraph and click "accept change" it still shows as marked. This is variable though - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

"Shauna Kelly" <ShaunaKelly[ at ]SendNoSpamToShaunaKelly.com> 6/16/2006 11:37:17 PM Hi Jan I assume you mean that tracking changes is off, and that the TRK in the status bar is *not* dark. If so, then I've experienced this, and I think it's a bug. Try the following, which are listed in order from easy to not easy: 1. Close Word, re-boot the machine and try again. 2. On the Reviewing toolbar, click down arrow next to the "Accept change" button and choose "Accept all changes". 3. Create a new document. Turn ON track changes in your document, and copy and paste everything except the last paragraph mark to the new document. If none of that works, post back and let us know. Hope this helps.

Re: Track Changes turned off, but still happening? Jen 6/16/2006 11:46:01 PM Thanks Shauna - I've seen it several times, and I figured it was a bug, but it helps to know I'm not the only one! Yes, I actually do have Track Changes turned off - the toolbar button isn't highlighted. It hasn't been a problem, since I am able to get the changes accepted eventually (at least so far). But I'll keep your suggestions in mind in case they begin to persist more stubbornly!! Thanks, Jen
