Recently, Outlook has started tracking changes on emails, somewhere in the background. I have always used Word as my Outlook editor, and I need to keep the Word function on that reminds me that there are tracked changes in a Word document before I save. But now my Outlook emails are giving me the same message. I thought tracked changes didn't work in Outlook. It's very annoying that every time I reply to an email, it tells me there are tracked changes. It never used to do this; this is a recent phenomenon. Is there anyway to turn this off for Outlook without also turning it off in Word? I've checked my normal.dot template, and tracked changes are not turned on there. So I haven't got a clue why emails do this. It even gives me the message when I save a draft of a email. The message I get in Outlook is, "The document being sent contains tracked changes. Continue with send?" p.s. This is for Outlook/Word 2003 version. My office has not yet upgraded to 2007.

Quite frankly, with Outlook 2003, I would disable the Word integration. Its very buggy.

Hi, I think, you can follow this setups to send an e-mail. 1. Turn Word on as your e-mail editor for one new message. On the Actions menu, point to “New Mail Message Using”, and then click “Microsoft Word (message format)”. 2. Turn on change tracking, right-click any toolbar, click Reviewing on the menu to display the Reviewing toolbar, and then click the Track Changes button Related information: Turn Word on or off as your e-mail editor or viewer How to track and manage changes in a Word 2003 document Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
