Are you OPENING the template when you remove all the track changes using
File>Open or are you removing everything using File>New?

You have to edit the template with File>Open, then save it as a template
(.dot) again...you can't edit it using File>New cuz that says a .doc

And no, I don't believe there is a way to tell Word never to use Track
Changes on any document...but you should be able to remove it from the
template using File>Open.

Subject: [mso] Word 2002: Deactivate Track Changes?

Can I get rid of the track changes function once and for all in Word?  I
have a document template and have tried accepting all the revisions,
putting it in final, turning off revision tracking, and still when I open a
new doc from it, after the opening form is completed, the document opens up
in the markup mode.  Track changes has caused problems for us and if there
is a way to disable it completely from Word, that would be great.  Have
searched the net, but not finding anything yet.

Otherwise, what are the steps to take to actually deactivate it per
document?  Thanks, appreciate any assistance.
Cathy
