I'm writing a manual for users for our upgrade to Word 2003 (from Word
97). Can anyone help me with a simple explanation of the difference
between 'final showing markup' and 'original showing markup' in track
changes? As far as I can see they do the same thing. Any explanation
I've read on other sites doesn't really help.

You'll see a difference if you display the change balloons: original shows
the document as it was, and the balloons show what's there now; final shows
the document as it is, and the balloon shows what used to be there.

Thank you. That makes sense. I think the reason I couldn't figure it
out is that we're not using balloons. Cheers!
