Word Documents Tracked Changes

Hi guys,
i just got my ipad. Is there any way to see tracked changes in word documents?
Its seems like documents to go can do this? Just wondering if any one is able to validate this.

Update. From the MacWorld Pages review:
"One extremely important note here: if you receive Word or Pages documents that contain tracked changes or comments, you’ll need to avoid Pages for iPad. Imported documents lose all comments and Pages for iPad automatically accepts any tracked changes. For me, this is a problem I can’t work around."
So as of this date, no. Maybe in a future release.

Copy text from word without track changes

Version: Word 14.0.6129.5000 32 bit
OS: Win 7
Hi -
We receive tons of word-documents to our newspaper, and many of these are copied and pasted into incopy. Some of the editors also use track changes in word heavily.
The ordinary ctrl+a ctrl+c ctrl-v copies track-changes-info. (This also apply if we copy to notepad etc.)
Is there an easy way to copy just the text without all the track chages-info, just the final text?
This is a big problem for us, and I haven't found a quick and easy solution on the web.

Hi Hans,
I just retested this Copy/Paste of Tracked Changes and Comments under Word 2011 for the Mac and Word 2010 for the PC. The results vary.
Regarding the PC with 2010 version.
Regardless of the Show Tracking settings in the Source document, the tracked changes DO NOT transfer from the source Word document to the destination Word document.
Regardless of the Show Tracking setting in the Source document, comments ALWAYS carry over into the destination Word document.
In all cases, source document tracked changes ALWAYS transfer to Note documents.
Paste Unformatted DOES NOT eliminate the tracked changes and comments when pasting to a Word destination document
Regarding Word 2011 on the Mac
Regardless of the Show Tracking settings in the source document, the tracked changes DO NOT transfer from the source Word document to the destination Word document.
Regardless of the Show Tracking setting in the Source document, comments ALWAYS carry over to the destination Word document.
In all cases, source document tracked changes DO NOT transfer to Text (txt) documents.
Paste Unformatted ALWAYS eliminates the tracked changes and comments when pasted into the destination Word document.
On both versions the default settings for Smart Copy/Paste and Cut, Copy, Paste we in effect. All test files where xml formats. (docx)

Set Word 2013 Track Changes settings via Registry edits or Group Policy?

Hi
Would anyone know if there is a way of changing Track Changes settings via registry edits or Group Policy (e.g. changing Simple Markup All Markup)? I've had a look in Group Policy Admin Templates and the Registry but cant see relevant
Thanks!

Hi,
The All Markup/Simple Markup selection is controlled by the RevModeShowSimpleMarkup value within the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Options
The value is 0 (zero) for All Markup or 1 (one) for Simple Markup.
If we close all Word instances, and change the value to 1, then start Word, the All Markup option should be selected.
In addition, some track change settings can also be controlled by the GPO settings in the following location:
Administrative Templates > Microsoft Word 2013 > Word Options > Track changes and compare
If you still need further assistance on this issue, please feel free to let me know.

Word doc track changes in RH

i need help working out why all my track changes in a word
doc that i have uploaded to RH, show up!!!!
its a real mess. the changes have been accepted so the word
doc is clean but then they all show up in RH.
any ideas?

I don't want to revise the document after track changes. My point is; when I finished my track changes and sent the document off for the other person to see the changes I have made, they can't see any markings, just the revised text (that had been changed
via track changes) It automatically changes without anyone excepting any changes I have made.

Feature Request: support for Word's Track Changes feature

I love the iPad and Pages lets my wife and I use it to some extent for our jobs. However, the most useful feature for me in a document reader/creator would be the ability to track changes and have it be compatible with Word. I am a college professor, and I use this feature almost daily when grading student papers. If this were available on the iPad version of Pages, I could truly leave the laptop at home.

Why would it need to be compatible with Word? Why not use Pages' Track Changes feature and print the final version, with the comments and markup visible, to PDF? This is what I do. And it works just fine. I get a student once in a while who doesn't have Adobe Reader installed, but I have a FAQ item for that in the online course shell.

Word document is changing place on desktop after save

Hi!
I have more word documents ( .doc ) on my desktop. If i open it, and do some changes, and after saving and closing it, the file changes place on the desktop. If my file was placed on the the right side at
the desktop, after editing it, it will be moved to the left side. It will always move to the left side. I also noticed that this problem only occurs if my word file is saved as .doc. If i save my file as .docx, then it's fine. I have Windows 7 Professional
32 bit installed.
Can someone tell me, how to fix this?
Thanks,
kampi

Hi Luke,
Yes, i have a wide screen monitor ( Dell 2009W ) with a resoulotion of 1680x1050. However this happens also on a laptop ( Dell Latitude E6510 ) with a resulotion of 1600x900, so i don't think that the resulotion would be the problem. UAC is turned off.
I tried the clean boot method what you said. I have turned off everything, but the problem was still persist, so i think this could be some problem with word, because if i edit and save a .doc file, then a .tmp file will be created on the place of my original
file, and in the meantime the original file will moved to another location. It is interesting that on Windows XP this problem doesn't occured, not even a tmp file will be created and the .doc file stays on it position.
Unfortunetly the second method what you mentioned is not a solution, because then every time a user opens a .doc file, then he/she has to restore his/her icons.

When I save a pages document as a word document it changes!

I have created a document in pages. When I save as word document, it gets funky! Things shift all over.
Also, when I save as a pdf, many people complain they cannot open it, and if they can, it is illegible.
How do I fix both of these?

but it was a problem I experienced repeatedly last year despite the fact that fonts are supposed to be embedded.
The fonts aren't supposed to be embedded. They are embedded.
After that, you may have applications proving that they are unable to display chars with the embedded datas but this is an other problem.
The Apple tool creating PDF embed fonts ( in fact a subset restricted to the really used characters ) since it's first delivery.
I bought the Countdown font more than ten years ago, so it may be described as an old one. It's made of two files : a bitmap one and a postscript one. Which is the worst structure given the late versions of the Apple tool.
My guess is that your problems where linked to the fact that Apple continue to create PDFs according to the version 1.3 when many appli are now assuming version 1.6 or higher.

Word 2013 Track Changes Not Showing New Author Changes

The .doc file has multiple comments, deletions and changes (all showing in bubbles) but when the author makes any new changes, the bubble fails to appear and the text remains in blue. If the same author deletes the text moments later in the same session,
with or without save, the bubble appears saying that the author made a deletion. There are also a few occurrences of past changes having a redline without the bubble. All files are local to a machine added to a domain with a domain user. I am unsure of the
Word version that created the file as it was emailed from another company. I've tried copying and pasting to a new format/same format and saving into a new format (.docx.) Any ideas?
Thanks,
Cory

Our office has been struggling with a related problem that maybe you can solve. Basically, the same person is repeatedly given a different reviewer name as they work in a document (presumably every time the document is autosaved). For example, if I work
for an hour adding edits or comments on a document by the time I'm ready to share it it will look like five different people made changes.
The Inspect Document fix works great to remove all the extra reviewer names, but it changes them all to 'Author'. Do you know how to then either a) change 'Author' to the reviewer's actual name or b) stop Office from assigning multiple names to the same
reviewer. Also, we've tried checking 'Always use these values regardless of sign in' under General to no avail.
Thanks - your fix is the closest we've come to a solution and it's greatly appreciated.

Comparing documents with Track Changes on

We're currently using Acrobat Pro 8.1.6 with Word 2003 (11.8307.8221) SP3.
We create PDFs with Track Changes on (showing).
We're testing and will soon be implementing Acrobat 9.1.3
Here's the issue:
We have a large number (10,000+ documents) created in Word, with Track Changes showing.
We create a PDF using Acrobat 8.1.6.
As long as we continue using Acrobat 8.1.6 we can compare documents with Track Changes on.
However, now we're moving to Acrobat 9.1.3.
We can open these existing documents, and edit them (delete pages, add comments, etc.) but when we try to compare an 8.1.6 file that has Track Changes on, we're getting an error message:
"These dots conform to PDF/A standards and do not allow editing. Please modify PDF/A secumenttings to allow editing and try again."
In Word, our Adobe PDF settings DO NOT HAVE "Create PDF/A-1a:2005 compliant file" checked (for kicks we tried it with this option on and off...same results). We have also DISABLED "Enable Accessibility and Reflow with tagged Adobe PDF."
This is only an issue taking 8.1.6 files into 9.1.3. If we create a PDF in 9.1.3 with Track Changes on, we have no problems. It appears to be a disconnect with 8.1.6 and 9.1.3.
I've gone through the forums and the web, and cannot find this issue anywhere else.
I can also recreate the issue at will.
Anyone out there have any ideas? We can't recreate the old 8.1.6 PDFs in 9.1.3...too many files, too little time, too much trouble.
Thank you!

Open the old pdf in Pro 3.? using file open. Under "Advanced" select "Preflight", under "PDF/A compliance" select "Remove PDF/A information" and save the pdf. We had to do this to both old and new pdf's before we could compare without the mentioned error. It sucks though, having to convert the documents and save them before compare. Hope this helps!

MacBook Air + Microsoft Word + Track Changes = nightmare

I work part-time as an editor. I use Microsoft Word on my MacBook Air and while I love my Mac for a million other things, it absolutely ***** when it comes to using Microsoft Word in Track Changes mode. After just a little editing, the program crashes. It's constant, it's regular, and it's a total nightmare. How can I best get around this problem without having to use a PC to do my editing?

I'd recommend reinstalling Office, then. I use Word of Mac '11 (same version) without any issues working with track changes. I will say that it can sometimes be a bit sluggish (the application) as the document ages and the amount of changes that occur but never once has the application locked up entirely, crashed or quit on me.

Why does my word document change to a docx when sending?

Each time I send a word document it changes to a docx and no-one can open it - how do I change the settings for this please?

It generally means that you created the document with Word 2010. That is the native file type for that version of Word. If you are sending to a person with an older version of Word you might need to save it as a .doc file.
This is a Microsoft thing.
Thunderbird does not change the file type of any attachments.

Can Acrobat XI Pro track changes?

I need to edit a PDF file for a client. I'm about to order the Acrobat XI Pro, but I'm wondering if there is a tool/option similar to MS Word's "Track Changes" so that my work will be visible to the client.

No. Acrobat is not a text editor and has no such features as "Track
Changes".
You could run a Document Compare on both files, though. It will generate a
summary of the differences between the before and after versions...

Font problem creating WORD document with Oracle Reports 8i/9i

I created a report using different Arial fonts. Once the report is generated from a .NET application, the fonts in the word document are changed apparently into Helvetica. This disarrange my lay-out completely. How can I solve this problem?
(NB. when I generate a PDF, there is no problem!)

By the way. I create the files in this way:
   private void createFile(String outFileName) {
      try {
         ByteArrayInputStream result = clientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
         File newFile = new File(outFileName);
         FileOutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(newFile);
         int bytesRead = 0;
         byte[] byteArray = new byte[10000];
         while ((bytesRead = result.read(byteArray)) != -1) {
            output.write(byteArray, 0, bytesRead);
         output.flush();
         output.close();
      } catch (Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();

InDesign CS6 not linking to source Word document

When I had Adobe Cs4 when I place a word document in InDesign a link was created to the source documenent. If the word document was changed, when InDesign checked for errors it prompted me to update the link document. Now when I place a word document in CS6 it does not creat a link. If the word document is changed I cannot update the indesign unless I delete everything and place the word document again. Is there a better way?

Thank you so much. I did just that and it's working just fine.
The geniuses at Adobe told me that there was no such option.

Need to change name on Track Changes

I purchased this MAC all-in-one from my nephew, and although he has deleted his name as the owner, his last name keeps showing up as the person who makes suggestions in Track Changes. I need to eliminate him and add my name, but I can't figure out how to do it. Help?

If you're asking about Microsoft Word's "Track Changes" feature, you'll need to change Word's preferences. Look under Preferences > User Information.
