快速回答
Go to Review tab and change the display from 'No Markup' to 'All Markup' in the Markup dropdown. Also check Review > Show Markup to ensure all change types are checked.
Why Track Changes Aren’t Visible
Track Changes can be active (recording changes) but invisible if the display mode is set to hide them.
解决步骤
Step 1: Change Markup Display Mode
- Go to the Review tab
- Find the Tracking group
- Click the dropdown that says the current view mode
- Select All Markup to show all changes inline
Display modes explained:
- Simple Markup: Shows a red line in the margin where changes exist
- All Markup: Shows all insertions, deletions, and formatting changes inline
- No Markup: Shows the document as if all changes were accepted (changes are still there)
- Original: Shows the document before any changes were made
Step 2: Check Markup Type Filters
- Go to Review > Show Markup
- Ensure these are checked:
- Comments
- Insertions and Deletions
- Formatting
- Check Specific People and ensure All Reviewers is selected
Step 3: Check Balloons vs. Inline
- Go to Review > Show Markup > Balloons
- Choose your preference:
- Show Revisions in Balloons — changes appear in margin balloons
- Show All Revisions Inline — changes appear in the text
- Show Only Comments and Formatting in Balloons — mixed view
Step 4: Verify Track Changes Is On
- Check the Review tab — Track Changes button should be highlighted/active
- If it’s off, changes aren’t being recorded
- Click Track Changes to enable it
Accepting or Rejecting Changes
- Accept one change: Right-click the change > Accept
- Accept all: Review > Accept > Accept All Changes
- Reject one: Right-click > Reject
- Reject all: Review > Reject > Reject All Changes
常见问题
Why can't I see tracked changes in my document?
The markup display mode is probably set to 'No Markup' or 'Simple Markup.' Go to the Review tab and change it to 'All Markup' to see all changes. Also check that Show Markup has all types checked (insertions, deletions, formatting, comments).
