Show comments in balloons and no mark up or review pane

Hi All, Vista and Office 2007

I am running into problems with the reviewing toolbar, specifically, I cannot get a version of a document that will show comments, but, not final mark up. If I try to add a comment it automatically opens a reviewing pane which I don't want. I want to be able to send my writer a corrected version that shows my comments (notes) in balloons, but, it doesn't show all the changes, and I also want that version on my screen which I can't get unless I brought it to the newer computer this way, (from my old computer). However, a doc that has been emailed to me and I am correcting on the new computer, I can't get comments without showing mark up. The document being emailed to me is in 2003 format. How can I set it in 2007 so that I can show the comments in the balloons and not have the review pane or mark up?

Jan

In the Track Changes Options dialog box, for "Use Balloons (Print and Web
Layout only)," choose "Only for comments/formatting." Click OK.

That will cause the editing to appear inline. To print (to paper or
pdf) a document where the comments show but not the markup, under
"Show Markup" uncheck "Insertions and Deletions" and "Formatting."

Good point, but note that the choices made under Show Markup won't be
preserved, unless the "Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving"
option has been cleared in the Trust Center dialog box. This also applies to
any recipients, of course: if they haven't cleared the option, they will
still see the markup when receiving the document.

You can get this to work for you. (Set insertion markup to none, deletion
markup to hidden, and balloons to comments and formatting only. Also clear
the check box next to "track formatting".)

But note that track changes options are user preferences and that documents
you send to others will not carry your settings. If your authors really
don't want to see the changes (it always amazes me that so many do not), send
along instructions for changing the markup settings, or send a copy of the
file with all changes accepted.

I believe the *display* options are user-specific. However, the "Track
formatting" and "Track moves" options seem to be saved with the document,
which should be helpful in this case.

Thanks, I didn't know about track moves (Nearly all my work is still in the
compatibility mode where track moves is not used) and forgot about track
formatting.

Well, thanks to you too! I wasn't sure what the OP was trying to accomplish,
and you clarified it for me. Whether the OP is happy with the answers,
remains to be seen, of course. :-)

I am happy to have some place to start, and I believe all the replies here will help me with most if not all my issues. :-)

Is there any way to prevent the Review pane from popping on unless I click the Review pane tab on the Ribbon? I don't really need that to come up unless I want it. It seems to have a mind of it's own.
