I just upgraded from 2000 to 2003 and have some questions about differences in Track Changes and Comments:

1. I used to be able to easily see the original document as I'm making changes. It looks like to do that in 2003 I should select Show then original, but some of the changes have applied, so it doesn't show me the actual original document. Is there something else I should do?

2. I don't want the date and time to be inserted and appear in comments. Anybody know how I turn that off?

Thanks in advance-

changes. It looks like to do that in 2003 I should select Show then
original, but some of the changes have applied, so it doesn't show me the
actual original document. Is there something else I should do?If you turn off the display of "balloons" you should see the document
similarly to what it used to be. The biggest problem is viewing deleted
text, as the interface for setting these options was removed from the dialog
box. It's still available via VBA, however. For example:

Sub FormatDeletedText()
Application.Options.DeletedTextMark _
= wdDeletedTextMarkStrikeThrough
application.Options.DeletedTextColor _
= wdRed
End Sub
2. I don't want the date and time to be inserted and appear in comments.

Anybody know how I turn that off?No, I don't think that's possible
