SYMPTOMS
When you open or when you save a Microsoft Office Word
2003 document, markup text (comments, ink annotations, insertions and
deletions, and formatting changes) that you turned off in the document the
last time that you saved it may appear again .
Notes
Notes
• | This behavior is different from Microsoft Word 2002. In Word 2002, when you hide markup text changes to the document, the markup text remains hidden when you open or when you save the document |
• | When you turn off markup text in your Word 2003 document by using the Show button on the Reviewing toolbar, the markup text is not actually removed from the document. It is however, hidden from view. |
CAUSE
This behavior is a design change to show markup text
immediately when you open the document. This design change is intended to
help you from accidentally sending a document that contains changes that
you do not want seen.
RESOLUTION
To change this behavior and to retain the Reviewing
options as you did in Word 2002, follow these steps:
Note If you do not perform step
5 and make a change in your document, the change that you made to the
Make hidden markup visible when opening or
saving option may not take effect the next time that you open
your Word document.
1. | Start Word 2003, and then open your Word 2003 document. |
2. | On the Tools menu, click Options. |
3. | On the Security tab, click to clear the Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving check box. |
4. | Click OK to close the Options dialog box. |
5. | Make a change in the document, such as type a space, delete the space, and then save your document. |
MORE INFORMATION
The Make hidden markup visible when
opening or saving option displays all comments, annotations,
deletions, and other types of revisions. If you use the Show menu on the Reviewing toolbar to hide some of your revisions or
all your revisions, and you select this option, your revisions will appear
when you or another user opens the file. This option does not affect text
that is formatted as hidden.
