In my Track Changes options, I have tried setting all different combinations
of options for Balloons. However, I still cannot activate balloons to see
marked up text in a balloon. All I see is the marked up text imbedded where
the change was made in the document (and it is in a different color).

Does anyone know how to turn on balloons?

Are you in Print Layout view?

No, but when I changed it to print layout, the balloons worked !

Is there any way to get it to work in Normal view, or is that not possible?

Thank you.

As noted on the Track Changes tab of Tools | Options, balloons work only in
Print Layout and Web Layout views.
