A "Word" thing or an "Outlook" thing"

[Ed]

I use Outlook at work, with "use Word as editor". Normally, using Word, I
do not use Track Changes: nothing is highlighted either on the screen or in
print. However, I right-click a document to "Send to E-mail Recipient",
when I use Insert>AutoText>Email Signature, the Signature is inserted with
change markings: color, underlined, and a vertical bar in the left margin.
I have to manually go back up and turn deselect all the Track Changes
options that got turned back on.

Do I try to fix this in Word or in Outlook? Or do I just live with it?

Judging by the lack of response, it looks like you have discovered yet
another new reason not to use Word as an email editor. The MVP site
probably has a list of the old reasons.

If you insist on "playing through the pain", you could try some of the
usual black magic such as renaming the normal template so that Word
will create a new one. Who knows, it might work...

I don't think so. I certainly don't have that problem. Nor do a dozen or so
of my colleagues that are using Word as the email editor for Outlook. If I
had to guess, I'd say that the signature must have been created in Word and
Track Changes was active when the signature was create. Try deleting the
signature and creating a new version.
