Puedes mantenerlo bajo control si haces clic en el botón Office/Opciones de Word/Mostrar y, en Opciones de impresión , marca la casilla que habilita la opción Actualizar campos antes de imprimir .
Truco 11
Navegando por documentos

Trick 15
control
Reviews
Some documents must be revised, retouched or approved by others. To distinguish the different contributions, changes are often made with different colors. With Word 2007, this is history and has evolved into a change control system with a sophisticated panel. From the menu Reviews / Monitoring will see a panel on your left with all the information on inserts, deletes, moves, format changes and comments on the document, all sorted by the name of the reviewer and an associated color. A small but useful trick is that you click Track Changes and choose the Change User down. You know, sometimes the names Word license is not under your user name and thus, you can check that your comments have the clear identity.
An important detail, the new version of Word 2007 has removed the option version control. In fact, if you save a document with version control enabled in Word 97-2003 format and open it in Word 2007 will not have access to them. And what is worse, if you open it in Word 2007 and save it to version 97-2003, permanently lose options. The solution, as proposed by Microsoft, is that we keep the versions of a document as multiple files with the removal tool versions (VET), which gives us the opportunity to convert files in batches. It is certainly a decision of the developer who is not fully understood because it was a widely used feature in earlier versions to avoid saturation of the team with documents labeled independent and sometimes were out of control.
