A Lawyer's Optimal Settings for Reading Redlined Contracts in Microsoft Word
1. Choose the 'Review' tab.
2. Click and hold 'Markup Options'.
3. De-select 'Formatting'. (It should be unchecked when you're done.)
4. Click and hold 'Markup Options' again.
5. Hold your pointer over the 'Balloons' sub-menu.
6. Choose 'Show Only Comments and Formatting in Balloons'.
7. In the bottom right corner of your Word window, make sure you're in 'Print Layout' mode.
Note: Word will helpfully forget these settings all the time and doesn't seem to allow you
to embed these view settings in a document, so bookmark this page.
