[cciug] Checking for tracked changes in MS Word

Hello CCIUG,

we are having continuous trouble with versions of MS Word documents that
contain tracked changes. It is not possible to run a compare or merge
operation if one (or both) of the involved versions contains revision marks.

I'm thinking of writing a pre-checkin trigger that prevents checkin if
active tracked changes exist in a doc. Has anybody done this already, or
could give me a hint about how to check a doc for this condition ?

Cheers, Axel.
