Re: Sending Word Files to a PC User

Well, apparently you *do* use the feature but simply don't realize that you
are doing so:-) Clicking the TRK button in the Status Bar will toggle Track
Changes on/off as will the Shift+Command+E keystroke.

"Show Final" doesn't remove markup from the document nor does it prevent
that markup from displaying when the doc is opened - that you've already
learned:-) Once Track Changes has been turned on in a document *all* changes
must be Accepted or Rejected & track Changes turned Off in order to clear
the markup.

I regularly send an updated and amended Word File to a business client who
operates on a PC. Recently she's started complaining the file appears at her
end Marked Up ie with every ammendment and correction I've made highlighted in
red or blue. I don't even use the feature, and always click on Show Final,
rather than With Mark-Up before sending. It's getting embarrassing as she has
to constantly do some adjusting before she can read the document. Any ideas
why this is happening and what I can do at my end to make sure a clean file
arrives?

I've tried cutting and pasting into a brand new document but the same thing
happens. I've also sent it to other people on different computers with no
problem whatsoever. As it's a business situation, I'm not in a position to
question her settings or the system at her end.

BTW, am sending it via Entourage. I used to send it through Mail, and never
had problems. Could this be the issue?
