title: How Do i turn off tracked changes using macros?
body: <p>I have been trying to create a macro that will automatically run when I open a new word document that will verify that tracked changes are turned off. For some reason, whenever I run a macro that opens a new word document that is a .dotm file that contains a form, it turns on tracked changes and I have not told it to do so.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried various different ways of fixing this issue.</p>
  
  <p>Before I close the User form that has been opened when I opened the new file, I add this line</p>
  
  <pre><code> ActiveDocument.TrackRevisions = False
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also tried with an if statement</p>
  
  <pre><code>if(ActiveDocument.TrackRevisions) then
      ActiveDocument.TrackRevisions = False
  end if
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also tried doing it so that it was not even involved in the user form at all but the document itself by inserting it in the "ThisDocument" section under the "Microsoft Word Objects" File. Here is what is located there.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Private Sub Document_New()
      UserFormInfo.Show
      'ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("cursor").Select
      ActiveDocument.TrackRevisions = False
      ActiveDocument.Save
  End Sub
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I expect to have this turn off tracked changes, however, this does not occur. Any help is appreciated.</p>
