Based on a Writing Tip I wrote for my work colleagues. Are all your formatting changes tracked when you have track changes in Word turned on?
Step 1: Open the document in Microsoft Word 2010 for which you wish to disable the “Track Changes” setting. Step 2: Click the Review tab at the top of the window. Step 3: Click the Track Changes button in the Tracking section of the Office ribbon.
Most of the time you don’t need these formatting balloons cluttering up your document and adding to your stress levels. Here’s how to turn off track formatting in Word 2007 and 2010 , while still keeping track changes on for insertions/deletions etc.:. Go to the Review tab Track Changes drop-down arrow Change Tracking Options. Clear the Track Formatting check box, then click OK. To turn off track formatting for all documents, you need to use a macro.
