2007 Track Changes - Printing Deletions Inline

[BrewTrooper]

I compared two documents. Under 'Balloons' I selected 'Show All Revisions
Inline'. In Print Layout view and in Print Preview all changes, including
deletions, were displayed as changes (i.e. additions in blue and underlined;
deletions are in blue and strikout font).

The problem occurs when I print it. The printed page properly shows the
addtions in blue, but the deletions are placed in ballons off to the right.
This causes the page to be scalled smaller for the ballons to fit; however
the balloons are cut off at the margin and only half of the ballon is
displayed.

It is my understanding that if you have the 'Show All Revisions Inline'
Balloon Option enabled that it will also print all revisions inline. It
functions the same way printing to several different printer makes/models.

Any help would be apprecaited!!

How odd. It prints fine for me. Insertions and deletions are inline in the
printed document and there are no balloons.

Since you've already tried other printers, does the document print the same
way if you start Word in Safe Mode? Hold Ctrl while starting Word and
continue holding Ctrl until prompted to start in Safe Mode.

Thanks for the help and quick response.

I opened Word in safe mode, opened the document and the first thing I
noticed was that the changed text is now in red instead of blue. The
document also printed fine.

I closed without saving, reopened the document in Word (sans safe mode) and
everything printed fine again. (Text was in red vs. blue this time too.)

I'm not sure what was going on, but it seems to be fixed now. Thank you
again!!

I'm not sure either, it all sounds very strange! But I'm thankful a method
used for troubleshooting turned out to be a cure this time.
