Track Changes! HELP!!

Hi!
I am just about to send an important document composed in Word 2004 (II.3.5.).
I need to make sure no one can see my tracked changes when they receive my document, how do ensure this?
Thank you so much for a quick response,
Aisling.

RE: Track Changes! HELP!!

Hi Aisling, Thanks for the post, in answer;

In Word 2002 and 2003, on the Reviewing toolbar, choose Final. This displays your document as if you had accepted all the tracked changes in the document. It hides (but does not remove) the tracked changes.
In Word 2002 and 2003, on the Reviewing toolbar, choose Original. This displays your document as if you had rejected all the tracked changes in the document. It hides (but does not remove) the tracked changes.

In earlier versions of Word, Tools > Track Changes > Highlight Changes. Un-tick Highlight Changes on Screen. This displays your document as if you had accepted all the tracked changes. It hides (but does not remove) the tracked changes.
But... if you turn off the display of tracked changes, it doesn't mean they're not there. The tracked changes are just hidden. Anyone could open your document and choose to view your tracked changes.

To remove the tracked changes from your document; either accept them or reject them.

I hope that has helped, regards Pete.

Word tip:

Formatting paragraphs with a hanging indent in Word 2010

A hanging indent is where the first line of a paragraph is not indented but all the other lines are. It is less frequently used but because of this, it could mean that your Word document stands out more. If you want it to have this different effect, then here's what you do,

Select the paragraph, go to the Home tab and double click the arrow icon in the lower right hand corner of the Paragraph pane. On the Indents and Spacing tab, use the ''Special'' drop down menu to select the ''Hanging'' option and then indicate the indentation level.
