Well, I will try to explain my logic (whether it will make any logical sense after this or not, I do not know.. :-)) .. if I'm trying to collaborate with someone and I'm making changes to text that already exists, I would like them to be tracked since otherwise finding these minor corrections can be a pain for the other person.. however, if I'm adding a whole new section, then it will be quite obvious that a new section has been added.. What I currently do is to go through a merge changes dialog and accept the change that the new section has been added before sending it out. However, there's a drawback to this - if I make any changes to this new section after merging the changes (and before sending it out), I now have to merge changes again before sending it out to the other person.. you see where I'm going?? If it were possible to simply switch change tracking on and off, then I can switch it on when I'm making those minor corrections/changes and switch it off when I'm making big changes like adding sections or chapters or so... > interested in corrupting a document's change history with weird hacks > like this. You really won't be corrupting it - when tracking has been turned off, it wouldn't affect the change history of the document at all.. when it's turned back on, it starts writing to the change history again... but I have no clue of how the code for this works so this may all be nonsense to you.. :-) Thanks, nirmal
