Show comments in balloons and no mark up or review pane

[Peter T. Daniels]

The first time a formatting balloon shows up is the reminder to me to
turn off Keep Track of Fromatting under the Track Changes Options.
I'll try setting _that_ one in the template -- though since it doesn't
stick from session to session in the same document, why should it
stick there?

Hi, Stefan,

Yes, I tried turning off the display of formatting in W2002&3.  It did not
work for me; that is, certain actions would turn the formatting balloons back
on while I was working in the file.  I don't remember what those actions (or
possibly accumulations of actions) were; it was 5 or 6 years ago.  But that's
why I resorted to a macro that changes the markup view to  just formatting,
deletes all markup shown, and then changes the markup view back to the
default.  

Peter, I haven't tried turning off the display of formatting in W2007 as a
way to avoid seeing formatting in balloons, and won't be, as I'd rather Word
just stopped collecting that markup and  because the way to make it stick is,
to me, an unacceptable security compromise.  

Regards,
Pam

Also, you can choose what to display (via the Show Markup button in the
Tracking group of the Review tab); the selections in that list can be saved
with the document but they will be ignored unless everyone opening the
document has cleared the "Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving"
option in the Trust Center dialog box.

Thanks, everyone, for you help and suggestions. They did the trick and all is working as I need now.

Hi All, Vista and Office 2007

I am running into problems with the reviewing toolbar, specifically, I cannot get a version of a document that will show comments, but, not final mark up. If I try to add a comment it automatically opens a reviewing pane which I don't want. I want to be able to send my writer a corrected version that shows my comments (notes) in balloons, but, it doesn't show all the changes, and I also want that version on my screen which I can't get unless I brought it to the newer computer this way, (from my old computer). However, a doc that has been emailed to me and I am correcting on the new computer, I can't get comments without showing mark up. The document being emailed to me is in 2003 format. How can I set it in 2007 so that I can show the comments in the balloons and not have the review pane or mark up?
