Document was created using "Headings" function so that an automatic Table of Contents can be created. Track changes is on.



All changes were accepted but whenever the document is saved and re-opened, the table of contents gets checked or updated causing more track changes markups (to only the page numbers). how do i stop track changes from marking up the table of contents besides turning off track changes?

Turn off Track Changes.

Hi Stefan,

I figured that's the only way to do it (which is why i labelled it solved), but do you know why it always updates the Table of Contents when you select Print Preview? and how to stop it from updating when print preview is selected?

Most likely, the option to "Update fields before printing" is selected in the Display category of Office button | Word Options. The Track Changes feature sees the updating as an edit and mark it as such. You can turn off the option.
