Can't view track changes

[DannyP]

In Word 2007 I can make track changes to a document and add comments.
However, when I save the document and open it again, I can't see the track
changes I have made, only the comments. I didn't think this was possible so I
am a little confused.

If I send the document to someone else they can view the changes and
comments normally. Also, if someone else sends me a document with track
changes, I can't view them either.

Any help would be much appreciated.

In the Tracking group of the Review tab, there's a dropdown called
"Show Markup," where you tell it to show Insertions and Deletions.
That, however, is supposed to be on whenever you open a document
containing tracked changes -- which suggests that the option to
override that is checked. It's buried so deeply in the Options that I
can't find it now!

In the Word Options dialog box, click the Trust Center category. Click Trust
Center Settings. In the Privacy Options category, make sure there is a check
mark next to "Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving" and click
OK twice.
