You need to set the value of the MarkupMode member of a View object
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb243381.aspx). For example,

ActiveWindow.View.MarkupMode = wdBalloonRevisions

If you're using the script from the page you cited, the code would be

objView.MarkupMode = wdBalloonRevisions

because objView is already set to objWord.ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View.

The valid values of MarkupMode are the members of the wdRevisionsMode
enumeration (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb238138.aspx),
wdBalloonRevisions = 0 and wdInLineRevisions = 1.
