Several inconsiderate programs, such as Acrobat and some PDF converters, change various Word settings and do not restore them. I am trying to write a macro to restore my settings the way I want them.
Using the recorder, I got this code, which seems to work. I have included the opposite settings as comments in case I change my mind.
Can anyone improve on this?
Code:
Sub MyStdSettings()
' Turn picture placeholders off (False)
' ActiveWindow.View.ShowPicturePlaceHolders = True
ActiveWindow.View.ShowPicturePlaceHolders = False
' Always show field shading
' ActiveWindow.View.FieldShading = wdFieldShadingNever
ActiveWindow.View.FieldShading = wdFieldShadingAlways
' ActiveWindow.View.FieldShading = wdFieldShadingWhenSelected
' Clear all formatting options
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
' Show text boundaries
' ActiveWindow.View.ShowTextBoundaries = False
ActiveWindow.View.ShowTextBoundaries = True
End Sub
Then I remembered that I seem to turn tracking on by mistake and wanted to add that to the macro. But no matter whether I use Alt+T or the ribbon, the command the recorder stores in the macro is the same for turning tracking on or off:
ActiveDocument.TrackRevisions = Not ActiveDocument.TrackRevisions
What command can I use to always turn it off?
