  • 1. Office/Word not a good tool for read-only emailed docs?
    I'm wondering if .pdf would be better. That's what the government uses mostly it seems. Word docs are too difficult to protect (make read-only): requires IRM which requires Server 2003 or passport accounts for recipients and browser client and doubles file size. Does it really take that much technology to make a doc readonly??!! Is PDF the simpler solution to sending protected documents outside of a company (to clients, for example: contracts)? Tony
  • 2. Edit the formula directly from the mathtype 5.0 with double clicks
    The question is, that I can not edit the formula pasted from mathtype 5.0 directly with double clicks,which should work.With double clicks on the formula I want to edit, I get the warning from Word 2003,"word can not open the document, the user do not have the right". The same thing happens when I double click on the graph picted with Origin 7.0 in my thesis,which once worked,but does not work now!
  • 3. How to create a two paragraph TOC heading?
    Using Word 2003, Win XP Pro. I am writing a long document in which the Heading 1 style starts a new page for each new chapter. I would like to use the same style, so it shows in my table of contents, a couple of times in the document WITHOUT starting a new page, so instead of the TOC saying PART 1 Chapter 1 it will say PART 1 Chapter 1 I have worked out how to do this in the text using a manual line break, but if I put a manual line break in the TOC it reverts to a single line of text once the fields have been updated. -- Benny *******
  • 4. printing and mail merge
    I'm trying to print some 200+ documents of which i can probably fit 4 of on each letter size page but I can't seem to figure out how to print multiple DIFFERENT records on the same page (i.e. get 200 records down to 50 pages).
  • 5. Multiple sets of Option Buttons
    I have inserted what I thought were several different sets of option buttons into an MSWord Form. (Groups of 3 different option buttons appear on different pages to allow the person completing the form to select between the 3 given options.) Unfortunately, MS Word thinks all 9 option buttons are related giving the user only the option of selecting one of the 9 radio buttons. How do I group these option buttons into 3 different sets of 3 choices? This is driving me crazy...I have checked all the Word help and Microsoft online help. Seems to be simple..but I am missing something. Help!!!!

track changes: showing WHAT has been changed, but not WHO changed

Postby Q2FybWVu » Fri, 29 Jul 2005 20:40:01 GMT 

I have a document with track changes of several different persons. We want to 
send it to some people who should see the actual changes but not by WHOM they 
were made.
I called our helpdesk and they said it can't be done (we have version 2003)?
Someone else mentioned 'Deltaview'?
Any idea?

Hi Carmen

To remove information about the authors of tracked changes do Tools > 
Options > Security. Tick the box "Remove personal information from file 
properties on save".

For more information see the following, especially the section on security:
How does Track Changes in Microsoft Word work?

1.Track changes so that view does not show tracking but print does 

We use Office 2000 soon to upgrade to 03.  I am creating Word 
Agreement/contract templates.  There are fields with unlimited characters 
that must be filed in.  In each field I have included an instruction (what 
info belongs in field).  When the user completes Agreement, it must be 
printed with changes redlined for ease of review for attorney (so that 
changes/additions to original template can easily be seen) so tracking is 
turned on.  Now when a field is clicked on to fill in information because of 
tracking, the field with instruction is redlined and text filled in is in red 
following the actual field.  Is there anyway to make the fields work normal 
(not redline) even with tracking turned on? It would be more user friendly if 
the text typed in the field came out red but the field instructions deleted 
like they normally do with tracking off.  If not, can the user not see the 
tracking but when they print, it shows.

2.Permanently Remove changes shown w/ Track Changes 

using MS Word 2000...

Have a document that has had changes made with Track Changes selected.  Now 
I want to start with the current version of this file with out any changes 
and track only new changes from this point forward.  How do I remove the 
previous data that was changed and the notes/highlites?  I've opened the 
original file, unchecked highlight changes and saved into new file, but when 
I reselected Highlight Changes, the changes were still there.

Please help.   Thanks so much.

3.Why don't "Change Case" edits show during "Track Changes" 

When I make changes in Word documents with "Track Changes" enabled, they all 
show up except when I change the capitalization of a word using the "Change 
Case" function. Is my software corrupt? Is this due to a setting I don't know 
about ([] Don't show Change Case changes) or is this a feature?

4.Track changes show up after accepting changes 

Word doc originally created in XP. Has been passed around 
to several people with track changes active. The last 
person to edit the file accepted the changes. That last 
person is not me. When I print the document I can view it 
and print it without track changes. Several people can 
print it and view it and no track changes show up. I 
opened the file in Xp and Word 2000 and when I 
toggled "track changes" on and off nothing happened to 
the doc. That is the way it is supposed to happen right???
However, this file was sent to several other people (not 
sure which version of Word they are running) and when 
they open the file the track changes are there 
automatically. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

5.Showing change bars when tracking changes in Word 2002 

I want to show change bars in the right margin for tracked changes but do NOT 
want to show the changes themselves, to indicate that the para has changed.  
When you go to the "track changes, show, options" submenu, you can 
change/turn off the display of insertions and format changes but NOT 
deletions.  Therefore, when you show final with changes the DELETIONS still 
show in the document.  If you do not "show final with changes" then the 
change bars do not show either.  This function USED to be in earlier versions 
of Word (97, 2000).  My Office XP suite and Word 2002 are at the most current 
SP and update status.

How can I show ONLY the change bars?  Is there a workaround?

6. Track Changes is unchecked by Changes Still Show

7. Track changes shows different users making the same set of changes

8. track changes - changes show up under different name (A. Stratton)
