I'm not sure what you mean by "disable" - Track Changes isn't active by
default. It needs to be activated in any given document.

Once it is activated you need to not only turn it off, but also
accept/reject all changes in order to discontinue change tracking & clear
the markup from the doc.

Version: 2008; Mac OS X 10.5 -- Word. I have turned off tracked changes; accepted all changes and saved doc. under a new name. When I email it to a Windows user all the tracked changes appear. How do I permanently delete all tracked changes and comments so they won't reappear?

Hi Michele:

If you have "Accepted all changes in document", AND the changes were really
"tracked changes", then they're gone!

However, you do have to then save the document and make sure you email the
correct version

In Word>Preferences>Security, turn on "Warn before printing, sending, or
saving..." to alert you to the fact that the document may have changes you
are not aware of.

Turn on the one above: "Remove personally identifiable..." to strip all the
names out of the document. That means that if you choose to leave tracked
changes in, you will not be able to see who made them.

Hope this helps

Hi -- actually, markup does open by default, so each time i am using word, i have to deselect markup AND reviewing under view -- i have gone through word preferences several times and can only find how to set up the colors, etc for track changes -- so, how can i disable markup and reviewing w/out having to constantly de-select or uncheck?
thanks for your help

Then it sounds like you've somehow managed to turn Track Changes on in your
Normal template. See this page:
