Word 2007 Irritant – Showing Markups
This is so confusing. The difference between Final Showing Markup and Original Showing Markup have no effect unless balloons are showing. This little settings is completely missed by users who are completely confused by it, and ignore these settings all together. Who wants this as a support issue?
Changing the Review Display for Track Changes
If you want to view your document in different scenarios or views for various stages of the edit process, you would use the Display for Review list (see Figure 1 – Display for Review) in the Tracking group. Each of the four options in the list provides a different view of the document. Final Showing Markup is the default when you open any document.
Figure 1 – Display for Review
Final Showing Markup – This view displays the final document with all tracked changes and comments showing. This is the default view for all documents opened in Word. When balloons are displayed, the insertion are shown as inline revisions and deletions are shown in the margin in balloons.
Final – This view displays the document without tracked changes showing. Don’t worry, any tracked changes that have not been accepted, rejected, or deleted are still in the document.
Original Showing Markup – This view displays the original text with tracked (display balloons to see this view). Only deletions are shown as inline revisions and insertions are shown in the margin in balloons.
Original – This view displays the original document without tracked changes and comments showing. Don’t worry, any tracked changes that have not been accepted, rejected, or deleted are still in the document. In other words – what did the original document look like?
iRedline provides the Display for Review list button on its Ribbon without having to switch back to the Review tab.
