AFAIK track changes are a document level setting, that is, it is set for each document. I could be wrong, as I do not use track changes. But if it is a document level setting then it will behave as you have seen it. A document coming from others will not use your settings.


Or...it could be an application level setting but other people's documents ignore it. Which would be unusual, but not unheard of. Question: if you have a new document with TC OFF, and you have had a document with your settings, when you turn TC ON, do those settings persist and show in the new document? I mean without you having to change them.
