Question

Disable 'Print Markup' in Word

by Apr 6, 2014 2:49PM PDT

When printing a Word (2010) document, in the 'Document Settings' section, 'Print Markup' is always checked. More often than not though, I want to insert comments in a document but not print them. Is there a way to permanently uncheck this 'Print Markup' for all instances of Word? I realize that I can hide the markup before printing, but that's not what I want.

Thanks.

Right now I can't get a single document to save the change. Even within the same session, when I uncheck it, then go back into the document, then immediately go back to the Print menu, 'Print Markup' is checked again.

Using Win 7 Ultimate 32 bit.

Could be a bug?

When that happens I'm looking at if it works with another admin capable account as well as renaming the normal.dot to normal.old.

After that it's off to get approval to call MSFT for paid support.
