Review pane... I want to open automatically when opening document

Hi all,

This may seem silly.  I'm making changes to certain word docs and adding comments as well as track changes.  Is there a way for others to open the word document and have the review pane open automatically?  I'm trying to save time from the numerous "non word savvy" folks (which may seem like me with this question) from sending me emails on how/where to find the changes/comments.

Thanks

MM

The only way I know how to do this is with a macro. However, then you need to save this file and macro-enabled (,docm) and your users have to enable the macros, which can be more confusing for uninformed users than simply telling them "Click on the Review tab".

If you would like to try out this route, please post again and we'll list the necessary code and how to implement it.
