Prevent turning off change tracking in word document code#
While there may be some hack, where we can run code or replace files in the system, it makes those of us concerned about security nervous to do this, unless it comes from an official site - e.g.Track Changes Download eBook for FreeĪccept Track Changes in Word If so, if this is built in, can we request that Word add a feature to recognize Zotero? I assume the field codes in Zotero and EndNote are similar, so I am not sure why Word is treating them differently.ĭoes Word recognize EndNote and not display the changes there? And when I moved to Next Change, it would display a large chunk of text consisting of the field codes, and was difficult to review and accept one change at a time. It did list all the changes in the Zotero document. If I was not concerned about tracking the reference changes, then that works great for me, with a minimum of fuss. With track changes on, Word did not display the changes in references or bibliography in the document that used EndNote. I just did a test of a document with EndNote and of a different document with Zotero. Is there a way for Word to ignore those changes made by Zotero. If this was addressed with updated macro code on the Zotero website that would be a step in the right direction. Nothing happened! I don't know if there is something I am missing or if this reflects another change in Word (solution is from/for 2010, I am running 2013/2016). I created a new macro, pasted the code and then ran it on a 'corrupted' document. I did numerous searches and tried the approach you suggested before originally posting. But could that not be solved by giving this as an option in the settings, giving users the ability to choose which behavior they want and change their minds down the road if needed? I appreciate the uncertainty of the Zotero team as to what the desired behavior is for users. That said I would view this as critical for many users (see the numerous threads on this issue in Zotero's forum). I appreciate that changes to word make this difficult for developers. I believe this is a bug reintroduced recently. Yeah, I wrote my PhD thesis with Zotero and I believe at that time this issue had been already addressed. You can use a Macro yourself to accept all tracked changes in Fields in one go (so your workflow would be to use this macro to accept field changes, then proceed with the rest of your review). The Zotero developers have and continue to look into ways to make it work more nicely with Track Changes, but it is a very difficult problem to solve (not least which because it’s not clear that disabling tracking is the desired behavior). This is even an issue for Word’s native (terrible) bibliography function and the Word “Compatibilty Mode” feature.
That said, it is really difficult for any Word Add-in (Zotero, Endnote, Mendeley, etc.) to interact with track changes, because the controls for this have changed many times over the versions.
It is a quite fast habit to develop to quickly click accept twice when field codes pop up. I wrote a 900 page dissertation, dozens of articles, and a 500 page book using Zotero. The BMS is doing its job facilitating keeping track of citation number changes and the word processor is doing its job by marking the changes.Īll my remarks notwithstanding, if there is a way to avoid these changes being flagged, I would be pleased to have a way around this.

That way the colleague / supervisor can make changes and comments without affecting my original work and I can then easily see the comments and incorporate them into my working copy.Īlthough I haven't verified this recently, this "problem" occurs with other bib management software (BMS) such as EndNote and Mandeley. I turn on track changes in the copy I forward to my colleague.
The way I handle this is to always share a copy of my working document that has all field codes removed.
I suppose that you are sharing your document with a colleague or a supervisor.

Zotero will automatically update the manuscript to reflect the insertion of the new reference and the reference numbers will change. In your post on another thread it appeared to me that you were complaining that when you entered a new reference (before the end of your document while using a numbered style such as Vancouver) and the reference numbers updated you object to track changes marking the updated numbers being flagged as changes.
