This is utterly hopeless. I have the same issue w/ a long manuscript. I
don't know what I hit to make my document suddenly shift 3" to the right,
nothing seems to fix it except hitting final view every time I open the
blasted document. Because I don't knwo what I did, I can't begin to fix it,
I just have to live with it. I hate anything and everything to do with
tracking changes, I don't ever want to use the track changes, and I really
really really wish I could permanently shut the damn thing off. I don't even
use spell check until right before printing, because it's a major hassle when
using foreign words and lots of names that aren't recognized. The choices of
"accept" or "reject" seem to do the opposite of what I desire, and I spend
far too much time trying to reset edits. I really want to hunt down the
programmer and slap them silly. The more they mess with Word, the worse a
program it gets to be.
