I'm printing tracked changes of my Word 2002 doc, but every time I print my
document or any single page of it, it prints the entire reviewing pane,
which is many pages long.

I'm trying to print a bunch of copies for my class every week, and just to
get a few copies of the short, marked-up document itself, having to print
hundreds of unneeded pages of the reviewing pane.

I've read the MS instructions, and some on-line docs, but haven't found any
reference to this problem. That is, I can turn off the reviewing pane from
displaying, but it still prints. It seems that if I want to print the
markup, I have to take the reviewing pane in the printout, too?

Well, that's not good. The reviewing pane is a pain. It is one of those
MS features that I'd like to rip out like a rotten tooth, cremate it,
scatter the ashes in deep space, and cauterize the wound with a blowtorch.
If only I could.
