Word 2003 Privacy Settings

[AmyBluFrog]

I recently upgraded to Word 2003, and I cannot seem to turn off the
option to "warn when saving, printing, etc. documents that contain
tracked changes". I go into Tools/Options/Security, and uncheck the
box. It will stay unchecked as long as I don't close Word. However, I
restart my computer at the end of everyday. I am also running AIA
Contracts software, which often causes me to shut down Word several
times throughout the day. I have not seen anything that lists
compatibility issues between the two yet. So, I don't know if this is
the cause.

I was having another issue immediately after the upgrade, where I
couldn't get the "Show Windows in Task Bar" to stay checked. This was
easily solved with an AutoOpen macro.

Does anyone know how I can fix this Privacy warning issue? Every
document that I work on contains tracked changes, and I want the
receiving parties to see these tracked changes. So, I would really
like to keep this warning from popping up every time I print or save a
document. Please help.

Thanks,
Amy

Amy, I don't know what kind of environment you work in but it may be
your computer geek's fault. Where I worked, there were Group Policy
Objects -- part of the network & desktop operating systems -- that
forced certain behaviors from Office. If that's what's happening to
you, you'll have to 1. ask your net geeks if they're doing that and 2.
learn to live with it. Ours set macro security to high and made
everyone live with having to say "yes I really want to run this macro"
three times every use.
