Sharepoint Workflow - MS Word Track Changes

Question

First I am not a developer, I have a developer building a Workflow for me that will be used to route MS Word documents to multiple individuals for collaboration and they are stuck.

I need the track changes to default on and stay on until the collaboration is complete so that each individuals tracked changes are clear and visible. The workflow will then bring the document to an admin who can then accept or reject the track changes.

There is a password function to lock track changes on which I would like to use, because the Admin could have the password and there for full control. Not a requirement to use this function but I always need to be sure that track changes are on and only the admin can accept/reject/turnoff.

The documents are housed in a library and new documents will be added frequently by users.

I have looked into VBA (see below), but I have been told that this only works on a user by user basis so I guess I need this to automatically turn on through the workflow with out having to go into each document and adding the script.

How do I automatically have track changes turn on, stay on and only adjustable by an admin in a workflow for all MS Word Docs?

Found Scripts:

Track changes automatically come on

Sub Autoopen()
With ActiveDocument
    If .TrackRevisions = False Then
        .TrackRevisions = True
    End If
End With
End Sub

Answer 1

In Word 2013, create a template (or multiple templates for different kinds of documents) and save it with the .dotx extension. On the Review tab of the ribbon, click the bottom half of the Track Changes button and click Lock Tracking. (This command doesn't exist in earlier versions.) Enter and re-enter the password, and save the template.

Users should then use the template(s) to create new documents. Those documents will automatically have Track Changes turned on, and it can't be turned off except by clicking Lock Tracking again and entering the password. No macros are needed.

You must use Word 2013 to turn on the Track Changes and lock it on, and the Admin must use Word 2013 to unlock it, but users with Word 2007 or 2010 will be able to use the template and documents based on it.
