I have a large document that I am trying to track the changes on when I or someone else edits the document.  "Enable tracking in all stories" is on, the eye is selected, the little power button is on, the screen mode is normal and not preview... what else can I do??

Hi,

 

There are some commercial plugins that do this.

 

We do this one.

This is by another plugin developer.

    Track changes are only visible in Story Editor view. Click in the story, Edit > Edit in Story Editor.

      Thank you... hopefully they update that feature.  It shows there, but it's a nightmare to look at.  Wishing there were a way to choose to see them in the document itself as well.  It's so confusing to look at two windows.

        Right...but they still don't show up in layout view.

        Thanks for the info. How do you format the document for printing with change bars, then?
