Did you make sure that the "When", "Who", and "Where" fields in the 'Highlight Changes' are ALL unchecked? This seems to work for me.

Then you can see the old changes - apparently the default is "since I last saved". Annoying, but it does work; MS needs to give this a little more thought. I also find that the "highlighting" is little more than a triangle in the upper left of the cell, which is easily overlooked.

This does not work. I ask it to track changes, and save the document. When I next open it the changes are still there but all tracking has vanished. Irritatingly, when I ask it to track changes again it again offers to track only the changes since I last saved. I untick this box again, make changes, and once more it loses them. Same for me.

This still doesn't work properly. Steven, how did you write a comment associated with this problem (and say it works like a charm) 3.5 months after today (9/27/2011)?

I can't even see how you could turn on tracking in Auto_Open, which would be my next option. Try it - you get a macro error at runtime. Agree, this isn’t “tracking” if it loses the data on save.
