[mso] Re: PDFs vs Word and tracked changeds (was "looking for idea")

Hi Ray

Sorry for the delay in responding - been out of my usual office again!

We also thought the same as you, until we found that the company's annual
report and accounts could be viewed with all the tracked changes still in
place even though we *understood* the tracking had been removed.  I wasn't
involved in the preparation of the tracked documents, only in posting them
to the website, but I can assure you we changed over to PDFs PDQ
thereafter!

Perhaps somebody else could enlighten us all on how to ensure tracked
changes can't be viewed once a document is finalised?

Hi Anne and others,

<<we very rapidly learnt to use PDFs rather
than Word docs once we found that any tracked changes could be
"rediscovered" from a Word doc but not from PDF>>

I have always believed it is possible to remove all "tracking" in all
versions of Word.  Isn't that correct?

(I do admit, however, that I don't remember how to do that in Word2002.)

Regards,

Ray Shapp
