Re: Cannot activate "Track Changes" on Word 2004 for Mac

and more addenda....details for Tony--
- Likewise, a powerful yet ULTRA-INTUITIVE Find/Search window like the one
of such application. If you check it out you will know what I mean.
Like Word 2004's? You haven't tried the Blue Jellybean yet?? :-)

What sorts of things do you want to Find? Word supports F&R for formats, styles, nonprinting characters, and a limited form of regular expression searching that they call wildcard searches, probably other things I can't think of. You have to click on that blue triangle (freaking un-intuitive but designed by *Apple*) in the Find dialog to access some of it. Back when the blue triangle was a button that said More, the Find dialog was pretty self-explanatory if you clicked around, I thought.
- The possibility to "FIND Again"
As John Points out, though, the Browse Objects feature is equally
convenient, much more versatile, and infinitely easier to remember :)
See here for more information on that.

Sorry to be evil: but all three are already in the product. Which goes to
reinforce Microsoft's point about needing a new User Interface to make them
more "discoverable". Damn... I hate it when they're right... :-)

I politely take a different view, John. The features are exceedingly
"discoverable" for those who are willing to *look* for them. Unfortunately,
too many want everything in Word to get dumped into their laps *and* work
just like they've found it to in whatever app they first "discovered" it. As
long as MS continues to to try and deliver same, Word isn't gonna get any
*better* from that perspective - just *different*!:)
Whole hearted agreement with both of you. :)
