Prevent Other People from Turning Off "Track Changes"
The Problem:
I'd like to force my boss to use Track Changes for the edits she makes to a report, but she claims that seeing the changes "impacts" her creativity and spontaneit-y.
The Solution:
Good for her, I guess. Have you tried protecting the document for tracked changes, but turning off their display? Your boss then won't be able to turn off Track Changes unless she knows your password. To set this up, in Word 2000, choose Tools 
Protect Document, check the "Allow only this type of editing in the document" box; select "Tracked changes" in the drop-down list; click the Yes, Start Enforcing Protection button; and enter a password. In Word XP or Word 2003, choose Tools Protect Document, select the "Tracked changes" option, type a password, click the OK button, and confirm the password.
If your boss is being suitably creative and spontaneous, she may not look at the TRK telltale on the status bar, which will be the main indication that changes are being tracked.
If tracking changes semi-surreptitiously isn't a go, just let her edit the document without protection and use the Compare and Merge Documents command to spotlight the spontaneity for you. See the previous Annoyance, "Use 'Compare and Merge Documents' to Highlight Untracked Changes," for details.
