Viewing Both Additions and Deletions in Track Changes

Processor: intel

Is there any view in track changes that allows you to see both the deletions and the additions in the body of the text? Kind of a combination of the Final Showing Markup and Original Showing Markup Views.
I think Pages in iWork shows changes like this but I interface with a community of people that all use Word.
Thank you.

If you go to View | Draft, insertions and deletions will show up both in
the text. Unfortunately, you will only be able to see Comments in the
Reviewing Page at the bottom (may need to be turned on). Depends on what
you are willing to compromise on.

Request what you want from MS--use Help | Send Feedback in Word. I want
to be able to see inserted text, with deleted text formatted as
strikethrough in the text, and comments in balloons, all at once.

Am I misinterpreting?... Wouldn't be the first time

Even in Print Layout view you can go to Word> Preferences> Track Changes (or
the long way around through the Tools menu) & remove the check to "use
Balloons to display changes". The changes will display in the text just as
they do in Draft/Normal view, but the Comments will be displayed in the
bottom pane rather than as balloons as well.

Hi Daiya,
Thanks for the help.
WOW! I have been looking for this solution because I need to be able to easily show deletions and additions to docs for archive purposes. I'm not so concerned about the Comments. I can now also print out a page showing deletions and additions and without balloons on the side by turning balloons off in track changes Preferences, which is what I ultimately need to do.

A note for people using 2004: Normal view seems to be the same as Draft view in Word 2008.

Thanks Again. Ed

Hi Bob,

You are spot on!

This is even a better solution.

Thank you.

No, I just forgot about being able to turn off balloons. As well as
spaced on the 2004/2008 differences.

Ed, glad you are sorted.
