Revision toggle without changing revision view?

Well you have to decide whether you want the tracking to show. Your code simply retains whatever the existing setting is and can therefore be reduced to one line; merely turning on track changes doesn't change whether they're displayed. If, however, you want to turn on track changes without displaying them, you need something like:

Code:

Sub Demo()
ActiveDocument.TrackRevisions = True
ActiveDocument.ShowRevisions = False
End Sub

I think you and I may be using different versions of Word. I'm on Word 2003.
With Word 2003, turning on the tracking will turn on the tracking display too. Give it a try. Turn off both the revision display and the tracking. Now turn on just the tracking (ctrl + shift + e by default). You'll notice that the revision display will come on together. I want to prevent that.
