Track Changes! HELP!!

Hi!
I am just about to send an important document composed in Word 2004 (II.3.5.).
I need to make sure no one can see my tracked changes when they receive my document, how do ensure this?
Thank you so much for a quick response,
Aisling.

RE: Track Changes! HELP!!

Hi Aisling, Thanks for the post, in answer;

In Word 2002 and 2003, on the Reviewing toolbar, choose Final. This displays your document as if you had accepted all the tracked changes in the document. It hides (but does not remove) the tracked changes.
In Word 2002 and 2003, on the Reviewing toolbar, choose Original. This displays your document as if you had rejected all the tracked changes in the document. It hides (but does not remove) the tracked changes.

In earlier versions of Word, Tools > Track Changes > Highlight Changes. Un-tick Highlight Changes on Screen. This displays your document as if you had accepted all the tracked changes. It hides (but does not remove) the tracked changes.
But... if you turn off the display of tracked changes, it doesn't mean they're not there. The tracked changes are just hidden. Anyone could open your document and choose to view your tracked changes.

To remove the tracked changes from your document; either accept them or reject them.

I hope that has helped, regards Pete.

Word tip:

Align Shapes in Your Word Document Using Gridlines

When drawing shapes in Microsoft Word, in can be useful to turn on the drawing grid to make it easier to align various shapes with each other. To bring up gridlines on your document:

1. Check to see if the Drawing toolbar is showing on your screen - you can check by going to View - Toolbars and see if Drawing is ticked or not. If it is not ticked, then click on the word 'Drawing' to get the toolbar showing on your screen.

2. On the Drawing toolbar, click Draw on the left hand side.

3. Select Grid.

4. Select the Display gridlines on screen check box.
