I use change tracking in Microsoft Word to collaborate with others while jointly editing a document, however, I am not interested in tracking formatting changes. On the Windows version of Word, I was able to easily turn of tracking of formatting changes, however, on Word for Mac 2011, I have been unable to accomplish this.
On the Mac, under the Review
tab, I can turn off visibility in the Tracking
subsection by selecting the popup menu Show Markup
and unchecking Formatting
but formatting changes are still being tracked even when not visible. I also tried going to the Preferences...
below Formatting
and in the Track Changes
dialog under Markup
section setting Formatting:
to (none)
, Color:
to Auto
, but I still get tracking. My recollection is that on the Windows version of word, this is where you would disable tracking of formatting changes.
How can I disable tracking of formatting changes in Word for Mac 2011?
