Hi Jennifer,

I've never known an Addin to change any of those settings, though I accept YMMV.

To disable track changes, use:
ActiveDocument.TrackRevisions = False

What I've found you're more likely to end up with is a bunch of custom Styles being added to a document created via a PDF/OCR conversion. You could use a macro to delete all Styles that aren't found in, say, Normal.dot, but that would result in any content in the unwanted custom Styles being converted to Normal Style with the consequential loss of formatting.
