[QUOTE="Troll Wizard, post: 2276983, member: 17513"] [COLOR=DarkOrange]Assuming you want to keep the track changes edits marked.[/COLOR] Uising Office XP/2003, leave track changes turned on, but on the reviewing toolbar switch to "Final" view. You won't be able to see the tracked changes, but in the background the computer is tracking them. See if you can page up and down easily now? [COLOR=DarkOrange]Another possible solution:[/COLOR] One of the biggest problems with Word XP/2003 is the track format changes command (which at default install is always on). Under Tools - Options - Edit tab - un-check the "keep track of formatting" check box. This will help your computer's performance with track changes, because styles are macros and this command is making copies of each style you modified in your document (e.g. Normal - bold, Normal italics, Normal - Arial Bold, etc.). You can also clean up your document by first turning off track changes, then: Select Format - Styles and Formatting, go thru the styles list within your document and delete any you are not using. Odds are that one of these macros has a bug in them. Save your document. Turn Track changes back on and resume work on your document. [COLOR=DarkOrange]One more possible solution[/COLOR] Turn off track changes, go through the table that is causing you to jump to the top of the document and change ALL the styles (and/or table template) to a specific table format style (e.g. Arial, 10 pt, centered within cell, internal margins .2 all around, etc. or whatever you desire). Save your file Turn on track changes test page up [COLOR=DarkOrange]and one more solution[/COLOR] turn off track changes select whole table that is causing the problem convert to text with tab separators copy and cut paste special - unformatted text select again and convert to table format to desired table template turn on track changes test page up Hope something in there helps.
