Hi,

I'm encountering a very unusual problem using Microsoft Word 2004 for Mac. (I'm on Leopard on an Intel iMac.)

I want to track changes in my documents and have those changes show up when printed but not on screen.

When I go into the "Highlight Changes" menu item, I select "Track changes while editing" and "Highlight changes in printed document".

I leave "Highlight changes on screen" unchecked, and select "Ok".

However, when I print the document the tracked changes do not show up. And when I go back into the "Highlight Changes" menu item, I find that now only the first box ("Track changes while editing") is checked.

It seems as though Word is automatically deselecting that third box, or else it's not picking up my selection in the first place for some reason.

Other people in my workplace experience this same problem.

The only workaround we've found is to select all the boxes before printing a document, as then the selection to print changes seems to 'stick'.

Has anyone else had this problem? Any solutions would be most appreciated!!

Thanks,
Matt
