Re: Turn off Tracking Changes in 2003

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

That's what I thought. I can't see why this change was made in the newer
version. For someone that works with a lot of documents and has to send them
between other users (and doesn't care about the changes because it is a form
and there will necessarily be changes in every document), this causes major
problems. I'm wishing my office would go back to office 2000. Thanks for
your help.
