From: carriero on 31 Mar 2010 11:27 I have a form document that was created in 2003. When people try to open the document in 2007, they see all the formating markups and have to go through a somewhat lengthy process every time they open the document to be able to see/print the document without markups, but then the form functions are lost. I've been told that there is no way to fix this, that 2003 and 2007 "don't talk." Surely there is something that can be done so the 2007 users can open the document and use the protected form without going through these steps: Review tab: Tracking: Show Markup Reviewers All Protect Document: Stop Protection Tracking: Change Final Showing Markup to Final
From: Peter T. Daniels on 31 Mar 2010 17:24 If you send someone a document with tracked changes in it, it will open with the changes showing. Just change "View Final with Markup" to "View Final." This is not controlled by the sender, but by the recipient. On Mar 31, 11:27 am, carriero <carri...(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > I have a form document that was created in 2003.

Why are you sending them forms with markup if you don't want them to see the markup? Accept all the changes before sending the form. -- Suzanne S.
