Disable Formatting Changes in Revision Tracking

[rpotash]

I am revising a document and would only like to see changes to the content,
not the formatting. Every time I open the document, formatting changes which
I previously accepted are re-marked. I was editing the document at work. When
I opened it on my home computer, it marked every paragraph has having font
and color changes. How can I tell revision tracking to either: 1) Accept all
format changes or 2) only mark content changes (inserts and deletes).

 

[Peter T. Daniels]

In Word2007, you can tell it (via Track Changes Options under the
Track Changes button) not to track Formatting. (Also turn off Track
Moves, which works in only very limited circumstances and cannot be
undone.) In the View Options, you can tell it not to show Formatting
changes even if it's tracking them.

You can choose which markup to display: on the Reviewing toolbar, click the
Show button and deselect Formatting.

Alternatively, select *only* Formatting and then click the arrow beside
Accept Change and choose Accept All Changes Shown. This will accept all the
current formatting changes; others will of course be marked, but you don't
have to see them if you deselect Formatting on the Show menu.
