Thanks for the help re toggling macro for track changes.

I've been trying to find a last, additional toggle macro for switching between Final view WITH Markup and Final WITHOUT Markup.

I've come up with this from a google group post:

Code:

Sub Track_Changes_Final_WITH_markup()
    With ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View
        .RevisionsView = wdRevisionsViewFinal
        .ShowRevisionsAndComments = True
    End With
End Sub

Code:

Sub Track_Changes_Final_WITHOUT_markup()
    With ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View
        .RevisionsView = wdRevisionsViewFinal
        .ShowRevisionsAndComments = False
    End With
End Sub

These work just fine. But just like the case with the toggling macro for the toolbar (kindly provided by macropod, https://www.msofficeforums.com/150049-post3.html), it'll be much easier to have code to just simply switch between the two with one button press (i.e., if markup showing, to take off; if markup not showing, to show with markup). So one press to turn it off or on so not only would it just require one button and one image, and also could be assigned to a keystroke.

All this is due to Covid-19 and our self-isolation that we're all having to do around the world. I really have to thank everyone for the help! I edit a friend's blog posts and we always did this in a coffee shop a couple of times a week where she passed her iPad over to me and I'd proofread and we'd chat and she'd make the changes before posting. Now we have to do this all remotely, and my trusty old Word with track changes has made this possible in a very easy way. But this last step of just toggling on and off would be the icing on the cake for the ease of this!

Cheers and stay safe during this self-isolation!
