Re: Turn off Reviewing in Word 2003

Sure, to get rid of Track Changes, you need to ACCEPT (or Reject) all changes and then toggle off Track Changes and save the document.

Unfortunately much to the chagrin of many an unsuspecting politician and businesses, all these changes are hidden inside the document as metadata unless specifically removed using the correct tool. This may be downloaded from Microsoft as an add-in for version previous to Office 2007. Office 2007 includes tools under File, Prepare.

I have been using Word 97 for a long period of time and just start using Word 2003.

When I receive an Email containing a Word document, I open it and find that there are a number of characters in different colours. Then I find that they are reviews of the Word document.

I would like to know
1) Why does the sender send a document with the history of amendments ? I find that she just make a copy from her predecessor and change the name to her with her new Email address. OR She has turned on Reviewing and so her changes are recorded BUT she is not aware of it?
2) I haven't turned on Reviewing (At least I don't have the Reviewing Toolbar shown), why do I see those changes ?
3) If I don't show the "Reviewing Toolbar", don't press "Track Changes", my Word 2003 document will not keep track of my changes (to avoid the embarrassment that lady has) ? Can it be set up in options ?
4) If I have a Word Document and found that Track Changes are on, does it mean that I have to confirm change before sending to other staff ?
