Word 2003: track changes opens in final view instead of final sho.
We have users who work in and save tracked changes document in Word 2003 with
the view being Final Showing Markup. When they close and reopen the document, the view changes to Final (you can actually see this happen - for a split second, the Reviewing Toolbar will read "Final Showing Markup" and then it changes to Final and all markups disappear) and they cannot see changes. Worse yet, when they switch the view to Final Showing Markup, they have still have to go into the Show options and manually select to show Insertions and Deletions, Formating, etc. each and every time and those are automatically deselected. These users were on 2002 and we upgraded them all to 2003 because they had the problem of people sometimes saving the documents in 2002 in Final view and others saw Final view when the documents were opened. We thought getting everyone on 2003 would have the default view of Final Showing Markup for all. This is too weird. I know that if you save in Final view and have the Tools: OPtions: Security setting of Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving deselected, the document will open Final view in 2003; but that does not seem to be the case here. Besides, why would Final Showing Markup not show the markups without manually selecting to show them each time? |

Do you think one of the users who wouldn't do as they were told and use
Final With Markup in 2002 could have written a macro to try to get around your introduction of 2003? Sounds like you might have an arms race going on here g. -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "JenniferLee" wrote in message ...

No, not a possibility. We only have two users who utilize macros. In fact,
our people want to see markups. All our complaints are from people who can't see markups, not the opposite. Believe me, I've seen this in action at a user's computer: we save viewing Final Showing Markup and immediately reopen the document and Word visibily switches to Final - you can see it happen. And, of course, the oddity of having the Show options on the Reviewing toolbar repeatedly deselect Show Insertions and Deletions, Formatting and Ink Annotations - in other words, Final Showing Markup only shows Comments.
