Multiple Revisions - Track Changes - Sanity

I am editing a document that started in Word 97 and has progressed through
Word 2002 with tracked changes. It is 380 pages. There have been at least
5 people working on it with tracked changes. However, here is our problem.
To make it ready for the client to see, we need to enable ONLY the change bar
in the right margin. I have a macro that turned off the color per author.
Is there a macro I can use to make the change bar in the right margin our
default?

The document shows tracked changes for all but one section (which is abouty
150 pages long) where we know that changes were made. I checked the original
document and the tracked changes appear with the change bar in the right
margin. What could turn off the bar for only one section? Why would this
happen? We are truly stumped!

Previous discussions in this group were helpful. Did I read correctly that
the tracked changes view (display) will vary from computer to computer,
depending on the way it is set up? That is, the tracked changes reside in the
computer? Is this correct?

If this is the case, then it will explain why different people in our group
see different levels of changes.

We need to get this document out, but cannot resolve this problem.

Many thanks for your help,
Sandy
