Hi everybody,

I had a problem with tracking change in word although I turned i
on
with settings (I'm using Word 2007):
+ Insertions: Underline.
+ Deletions: Strikethrough.
+ Display for review: Final showing makeup.
+ Show make up: check all items of this section and "All reviewers" i
chosen.

But when I let my mouse to some deleted text/insert text (whic
were
strike through/under line), there's no any comments displayed to sho
that
who the author is.

Could anyone help me?

Thanks

It looks like it's controlled by "tool tips."

Go to Word Options (Office Button in the top left corner, button in
the bottom of the frame)

Go to "Display" (second item in the list at the left)

Turn on "Show document tooltips on hover" (3rd item on the right)

Click OK at the bottom

It works now. Thank you very much, Peter :)

Have a nice day.

Hello Peter and everybody,

Now, the comment box is displayed to show who the author is but i
displays too fast (about 1-2s). I can't read it clearly.

Could you please help me?


Thanks,
Quye

I've never known a Comment balloon to go away. Maybe you just need to
close and open Word, or Restart the computer?

Also look at all the many options in the Track Changes area of the
Ribbon. Maybe something has gotten checked that shouldn't be.

What, exactly, is disappearing? Balloons or tooltips/screentips?
