checking tracked changes

[KR]

Is there a VBA boolean for (a) whether track changes is turned on, and (b)
whether there are tracked changes that have not yet been accepted in a
document?

I'd like to put something in my document_open area to alert me before I
start working in a document.

Thanks,
Keith

Hi Kr,

ActiveDocument.TrackRevisions

If ActiveDocument.Revisions.Count > 0 Then

Keith,
Did you know that in the newer versions of Word they also added Privacy
Options under Security?
Such as:
1. Warn before printing, saving or sending a file that contains tracked
changes or comments.
2. Remove personal information from this file on save.

Russ-

Thanks for the info. I'm working in Word97 and 2003 (home/work) and other
users may be using anything within that range. Unfortunately, even after
requests that users not send files with tracked changes they still sometimes
show up that way, so I'm trying to figure it out quickly so I don't start
editing a document and then figure out that there were other changes in the
document that haven't been 'finalized'. Not all of these folks are
technology savvy, and I don't have direct access to their machines to change
the settings- so my 'fix' will have to be localized to my machine, on
opening each document.

Thanks!
Keith

Thanks Cindy!
The revisions count is great, and I'll set trackrevisions=false in my
on_open
Thanks again,
Keith
