Comments showing as track change

Hi there, I hope someone can help with this. I apologise if this is something that has been discussed before, I have attempted to google the problem and not found any results so far to exactly match ...

Hello AndyCooper ,

I know what you mean :(, it is a pain.

However, I haven't seen comments as track-changes for a long, long while.

You say that you have certain options greyed out. Can you please post the screen-shot of that?

Currently, the default shows comments in balloons - see my print-screen. What setting do you have there?

Hi Lenka,

Thank you very much for your reply!
Unfortunately, I actually said that I do not have any options greyed out - they are just not there at all.
As I said, some of my colleagues can still see comments as track changes, so I know it is possible. I just seem to have an updated version of comments/track changes.
I think I am just going to have to live with it.
If anyone from Microsoft is reading this, please consider changing this back to how it was.
Thanks
Andy

Hello AndyCooper ,
I misread the greyed out note, sorry about that.
It is strange for a feature to be missing.
It is also difficult to help without seeing.
If it were my computer, I'd call Microsoft helpline, they are bound to find you support if your installation is legal.
I assume this is your employer's computer, so please contact your IT to sort this out for you. If you don't have an IT, call Microsoft helpline yourself. Let them fix it.
Don't wait. Lenka
