Accepted changes don't stick when emailed
Scenario: A document's footer includes the doc's
filename. Track changes is on. The doc's filename is changed as it passes through the review process. When final, all changes are accepted - including those to the filename in the footer. The footer shows only the current filename. When emailed, however, the footer reverts to current filename plus a redline of the previous filename. We've been cursing this problem for weeks. Is there a fix? Seems to happen whether Word is my email editor, or not. |

Not sure I fully understand this, but try turning track changes off as well
as accepting the changes. -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "Trisha" wrote in message ...

Track changes still needs to be on ... it's a "final" doc
as far as we're concerned internally, but then it goes out for external review. Any other ideas? -----Original Message----- Track changes OFF Show changes ON -----Original Message----- Scenario: A document's footer includes the doc's filename. Track changes is on.

Thanks for the tip! Track changes still needs to be on --
the doc then goes for external routing, so we need to know what changes are made to it.

Well, if tracking is On, then Word is going to track any change to the
filename, so the first thing to be sure about is that you have saved the file to the final path, updated the header and footer fields (switch to print preview mode and back), accepted the change, and saved the file again. Also check that it is this final saved version that you are e-mailing. When you open now, I assume you don't see the filename change? But mailing this document to an external reviewer with track changes on is still going to show a change in pathname when the recipient saves the file locally. Could you lock the pathname field before sending for review - assuming you don't need that field to update while it is with the reviewer? -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org wrote in message ...

I tried locking just the pathname field, there isn't a way
to lock just that field. I didn't mention this before ... when I email the doc to myself it looks fine, but if I email it to anyone else - that's when the redline appears again.

Well, not sure I understand why wouldn't be able to lock just that field,
but another alternative is to unlink the field by selecting it and pressing Ctrl+6. That converts it from a field to regular text. Regards, Chad DeMeyer wrote in message ...

We can't lock the filename field, or convert it to
text ... because then the filename in the footer won't match the filename of the doc if the filename is changed. It definitely feels like a bug -- because of the way it looks fine until you email it, and the redline doesn't show up until the file is emailed.
